Through sustainable and integrated design we hope to enhance Sharm El-Sheikh by conserving natural lands and protecting precious ecosystems that are characteristic of this Egyptian city. We hope to create an environment that educates locals and tourists on sustainable practices that encourage conservation of natural landscapes for future generations. We propose a set of sister resorts: a coastal eco-resort and a mountain eco-lodge that provide experiences unique from other resorts in the area in that they are entirely supported by clean energy and consist of low-impact design that always considers the natural environment ahead of the built environment. Visitors will live in luxury, but they will rest easy knowing that they are not contributing to the detriment of any natural systems.
