The president was also briefed on the progress of “The Greatest Transfiguration over the Land of Peace” project in Sinai in the vicinity of Mount Moses and St. Catherine, which includes a number of integrated development projects.
He instructed that the project be implemented in an integrated manner to turn its uniquely located site into one of the world’s best tourist attractions.
Sisi also directed that the project must take into account internationally-recognized standards for sustainable tourism and the spiritual value of the project site, which stems from its being the incubator of world’s religions over the Land of Peace.
