Engineer Heba Mohamed Abdel Hamid, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Housing in Sohag, inspected the progress of the new tourist marina project in the Western District of Sohag. This site visit comes in response to directives from Governor Dr. Abdel Fattah Sirag, who emphasized the importance of following up on development projects across the governorate.
According to the report submitted by the project’s executive engineers, the work is proceeding according to the designated timeline, with full adherence to Egyptian specifications and the highest quality standards using premium materials. The project is being carried out by Al-Hadidi General Contracting Company.
This initiative is part of the governorate’s broader strategy to revitalize both domestic and international tourism. The new marina spans an area of over 2,000 square meters and is designed to accommodate two to three tourist boats simultaneously. This represents a significant upgrade compared to the existing marina in Nasser District, which can only host one boat at a time. The architectural design blends modern visual identity with Pharaonic motifs and includes an administrative building, electrical service rooms, a main cafeteria, and four dedicated visitor parking areas.
The marina is expected to serve as a cornerstone for developing the area beneath the Western Corniche, which will be integrated into a comprehensive urban development plan for the governorate.
In this context, Governor Abdel Fattah Sirag underscored the importance of executing the designs in line with Sohag’s developmental vision. He called for a strong focus on enhancing the city’s visual identity to transform the new marina into a prominent tourist destination. He also instructed that the gates of the Western Corniche be upgraded aesthetically and that lighting poles and fixtures along the corniche be maintained and repaired.
It is worth noting that the Western Corniche Marina had been neglected for many years. Its redevelopment is seen as a strategic move to bolster the tourism sector in Sohag and to attract both local and international investments, contributing to the achievement of the governorate’s comprehensive development goals.
