The efforts and measures taken by the state to protect the beaches extending from the Abu Qir area to the northwestern coast were reviewed.
And Technical and specialized studies that were prepared in coordination with major technical advisory experts from universities and specialized international companies were also reviewed, with the aim of developing a future perspective for the proper exploitation of the attractive nature of the coasts.
