The Ghazala Gardens hotel (فندق غزالة) was a 176-room, four-star establishment in the Naama Bay area of the Egyptian beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Sinai Peninsula. Its sister hotel, the Ghazala Beach, is across the street and is substantially larger. On July 23, 2005 at about 01:15 local time (22:15 UTC) a terrorist drove a pickup truck laden with explosives through the glass façade and into the front lobby.
