Sharm al Shaij; Sharm el Sheij; Sharm al-Shaij; Sharm el-Sheij: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la transcripción recomendada del nombre de la ciudad de Egipto es "Sharm al Shaij". Asimismo es válida la forma "Sharm el Sheij", basada en la pronunciación local. Por claridad gráfica, en los medios de comunicación es preferible prescindir del guion, aunque no sea incorrecto añadirlo, pero en cualquier caso el artículo árabe "al" es en minúscula. 1, record 1, Spanish, - Sharm%20al%20Shaij
