Saint Catherine gets a makeover as Egypt unveils the ‘Great Transfiguration’ Project

A member of the History and Antiquities Committee of the Supreme Council for Culture, Abdel Rahim Rihan, affirmed that the ‘Great Transfiguration’ project in South Sinai represents a major leap forward by transforming the city of Saint Catherine, known for its rich historical and religious heritage, into a global tourist destination.

In a phone-in interview with the “Eight AM” program on DMC channel on Tuesday, Rihan said, “The ‘Great Transfiguration’ project aims to develop the South Sinai region and open new horizons for Egyptian tourism to the whole world, especially as the South Sinai region has many religious and historical landmarks.”

The project is scheduled to open in October, he added.
