Fort George was a colonial era fortification that was built in 1790s to protect the harbour. By the 20th century, the fort was no longer in use. Only a tall silk cotton tree growing within the fort was used as a lookout post to spot German submarines that patrolled the Caribbean waters. Today, very little remains of the structure. The ruins belong to the National Trust for the Cayman Islands and are an important remnant of the colonial times.

Located near Sharm’s Old Market, Al Mustafa Mosque is one of Sharm’s most iconic sights. Built in 2008, it’s hard to miss with its two 72-metre minarets and carved stone dome that’s especially striking when it’s lit up at night. It’s an active mosque, so it's best to avoid during prayer times. Around it, you’ll find a more local side of Sharm, with small shops, cafés, and everyday street life.
