Description
This roundabout on the ring road north of the airport in Sharm el-Sheikh seems to be very attractive to resting migratory birds and native breeding birds. On our excursions and tours in the area around Sharm el-Sheikh, we often passed this rather inconspicuous roundabout. Each time, we found some interesting species, so we stopped and explored the surroundings.
