History
During World War I, there was an internment camp at Sidi Bishr, and Manwel Dimech was imprisoned there.[4] During the war it was also the scene where the Mediterranean Forces camped and trained and occasionally enjoyed the waters of Sidi Bishr, where the coast wasn't so rocky.[5]
In 1928, Sidi Bishr was a picturesque place on the edge of the desert and a decade later had been transformed with the extension of
The Corniche. People visited Sidi Bishr's three beaches from around the world, making it cosmopolitan and a fashionable place to be.[6] Lawrence Durrell's Justine
describes the beach at Sidi Bishr as "a place where beautiful women from all over the world donned bikinis".
Since the
Egyptian revolution of 1952,[7] women no longer wear bathing suits to public Egyptian beaches.[8][9]
