Peninsula Visitors often wonder about the origin of the name "Soma." We have no definitive answer, only a possible "theories" shrouded in mystery.
The phrase "Soma Bay" was recently invented by the developers of the peninsula. Egyptian charts and diagrams also refers to the peninsula as "Ras Abu Soma. In Arabic, "Ras" means head, headland, or peninsula, "Abu" means father.
They were able to identify only a few references to this word.
Soma is a plant cultivated in the Indian subcontinent, which has hallucinogenic properties. He won wide recognition in 1930 with the publication of Aldous Huxley's novel titled "Brave New World. This novel describes a futuristic society whose members are kept in a state of well controlled, either by administration of "Soma."
So what is the relationship between this plant and Ras Abu Soma Peninsula? One theory is based on the fact that there is another bay, not far from Ras Abou Soma, which, curiously enough, is called "Sahl Hashish" (literally coast, or golf, or even land hashish). So, the theory says that now many decades ago, this coast was the gateway drug that entered Egypt from the Indian subcontinent.
Another theory is that the natural beauty of Soma Bay gets a similar sense of peace and welfare effects Soma plant. A "Brave New World" derived from nature, and not from consumption of a hallucinogenic drug artificially!
A third theory derives from the fact that "black sand Safaga" Soma Bay found on the shore and from sea grass and algae, is known for its benefits to body and mind. Black sand is also a precursor of various treatments at Les Thermes Marins available algotherapy des Cascades.
Finally, the legend says that now many years ago a person named "Sheikh Abu Soma", lived here, and fascinated by her beauty, asked to be buried here, and the tip of the peninsula got its name.
So the choice is yours. Our preference is for the second theory, and our view is that Soma Bay will offer all its visitors and residents a Brave New World ... a feeling of wellbeing and a passion for life inspired many other natural attractions Peninsula.
