New Alamein City at full capacity as festival draws crowds

The New Alamein Festival is proving a success, with hotel occupancy rates in the city reaching 100 percent until the end of August, according to Hossam Hazaa, a member of the Egyptian Tourism Federation.

In television remarks, Hazaa attributed this tourism boom to the festival’s wide range of cultural activities, such as concerts and theater performances, which have strongly resonated with Arab audiences. 

He praised the city’s modern infrastructure, comprehensive services, and efficient transportation options, which have contributed to its growing reputation as a premier global tourist destination.

To facilitate access to the New Alamein Festival, the Ministry of Industry and Transport has announced a new transportation service with daily luxury bus services from Cairo and Alexandria to the city.

The festival, which runs until 30 August, is organized by United Media Services and features a wide range of music, culture, shopping, and sports activities that are expected to continue throughout the summer.
