Egypt to inaugurate Great Transfiguration project in October

A member of the History and Antiquities Committee at the Supreme Council of Culture in Egypt, Abdel-Rahim Rehan, announced that the Great Transfiguration project in South Sinai is scheduled to open in October.

In a telephone interview with the Egyptian DMC channel on Tuesday, Rehan confirmed that the project aims to transform the city of St. Catherine, known for its immense historical and religious heritage, a global tourist destination.

He explained, “The Great Transfiguration Project aims to develop South Sinai region and open new horizons for Egyptian tourism to all parts of the world, especially since the South Sinai has many religious and historical monuments.

“The Great Transfiguration Project in South Sinai began on July 21, 2020, with the visit of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and the relevant ministers to St. Catherine, where all the visions of the concerned authorities, including the monks of the monastery, antiquities inspectors, and environmental officials, were heard.”
