New Alamein’s “Downtown Lagoon” lakes to use desalinated seawater only

The Media Center of the Egyptian Cabinet clarified the truth regarding videos circulating on social media.

These videos falsely claimed that Nile River water was being used to fill the lakes of the “Downtown Lagoon” project in New Alamein City, which features 11 artificial lakes.

The Media Center confirmed that all lakes in the project will be filled with desalinated seawater, with no use of Nile River water whatsoever.

The center highlighted that this project is part of efforts to enhance the tourism and urban infrastructure in the North Coast region, aiming to transform it into a global destination for tourism, residency, and logistical services.

The Media Center also noted that experimental filling of the main and largest lake in the project has already begun to test the efficiency of its insulation system, making it the first of the 11 lakes to undergo trial operation.

The project is set to include islands, a recreational tourist promenade, and dedicated paths for pedestrians, bicycles, and electric cars. It will also feature numerous developmental, service, tourism, and hotel activities, many of which are being implemented for the first time in Egypt.
