The northernmost hotel was Hotel Hilton in Taba
(the former disputed area); the other two were in two
different resorts further south, in Egyptian Sinai proper.

This is slightly off topic but I thought this was the
best place to ask the question.
In the newspaper articles I read on the terrorist
attacks, they always mention that Sinai was returned
by Israel to Egypt in 1982.  That got me to thinking.
Taba border strip was an area less than a square mile
that was returned in 1989.  Does anybody know if the
places that were attacked last week were in the
one-time disputed area or not?
Also, when I went to Ireland this year, I crossed into
NI on a bridge over a river.  I now want to collect a
list of divided bridge on rivers not near the sea.
Any help would be appreciated.
