Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly reviewed on Thursday work progress in the implementation of several service and development projects in the Cairo Governorate. Concerned ministers and officials attended the meeting.
The prime minister stressed the importance of the various development and service projects being carried out in Cairo, particularly those aimed at reviving Historic Cairo.
These areas represent a vital part of Egypt’s rich history and heritage, he said.
The government has therefore started carrying out comprehensive development projects in line with directives from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, focusing on creating an integrated system to upgrade the urban and historic fabric of these areas.
The efforts also include improving surrounding residential neighbourhoods while preserving the distinctive heritage, archaeological, and architectural character of the historic districts.
On the Fustat Hills Gardens project, Presidential Advisor Major General Khaled Fouda noted that he inspected the project last April and confirmed that the park has been developed to a high standard, becoming a prominent new landmark in the capital.
He added that trial operations will begin soon ahead of the project’s official opening.
Fouda also emphasised the importance of preparing a cultural tourism programme linking the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, Fustat Hills Gardens, the Religious Complex, and the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque, describing the area as a major tourism attraction.
For his part, Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber affirmed that the governorate is working to realise the vision of transforming Cairo into a leading tourism, cultural, artistic, and scientific capital, in line with Egypt Vision 2030.
