Alexandria Coastal Protection Works Target Summer Completion
What happened
The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation reviewed coastal protection works in Alexandria, noting that two phases of the program are advancing. These projects cover a two-kilometre stretch from Bir Massoud to El-Mahrousa and a 600-metre section in Laurent. The works include beach restoration and shoreline protection, with completion targeted before the next summer.

Why it matters
The ongoing infrastructure investment aims to protect coastal assets and property, and previous interventions have helped slow shoreline retreat in the city. Officials also discussed a proposed coastal development between Mostafa Kamel and the Eastern Harbour.
