Sharm el-Sheikh song

Sharm el-Sheikh song

Sharm el-Shiekh is an Israeli song that commemorates the capture of Sharm el-Sheikh during the Six-Day War.

Beginning the story

The song was sung and written by Ron Eliran, music and English words, with Amos Ettinger contributing the Hebrew version.

Start of a hit

It was the 6-day war of the Israelis against the Arabs in 1967. Israel emerged victorious against all odds. Ron Eliran volunteered at the start of the war to entertain the troops. On the road between one military to another in the Sinai Desert, the song Sharm el-Sheikh was born.

The hit strikes

Israelis everywhere fell under the spell of this beautiful hit, for which Eliran earned a Gold Record. It was not only heard and enjoyed in Israel, but in the United States.
