Ofira (Hebrew: אופירה, Arabic: عوفيرا) is a former Israeli settlement in the Sharm El Sheikh area of the southern Sinai Peninsula, an Egyptian territory that was under occupation from 1967 to 1982.

An airfield was opened in 1976, today known as Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport.

[citation needed] It was named after the Biblical Ophir, an African land where gold was mined.

[2] Ofira overlooked Sharm el-Maya Bay and the Nesima area.

During the Yom Kippur War, it was the site of an air battle,[3] where Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's half brother Atef was killed.
