“El-Tajalli El-Azam” Development Project Progress in Saint Catherine

Egypt’s Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Eng. Sherif El-Sherbiny, held a comprehensive meeting on Tuesday evening to review the detailed timeline for the completion of the “El-Tajalli El-Azam” (The Greatest Manifestation) development project in Saint Catherine. The meeting included officials from the ministry, the Central Agency for Reconstruction, project consultants, and representatives of contracting companies.

Weekly Monitoring of Project Progress

The minister emphasized that the project is under direct supervision by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, with instructions to adhere strictly to the set deadlines. El-Sherbiny announced the establishment of weekly review meetings alongside on-site inspections to ensure all components are completed according to schedule.

Project Objectives

The project aims to enhance the unique spiritual and historical significance of the site, known globally as the location where God revealed Himself, making it accessible to visitors worldwide. It focuses on protecting and improving the area while preserving its natural and cultural heritage to showcase its global uniqueness.

Key Components of the Project

During the meeting, the progress of various elements of the project was discussed, including:

  • The new Visitor Center and the Peace Square complex.
  • Development of Wadi El-Deir and eco-lodges.
  • Construction of a mountain hotel and tourist resort.
  • Bazaar areas and VIP lounges.
  • Al-Zaytouna residential district and a new government complex.
  • Development of Wadi El-Arbaeen and creation of a leisure promenade.
  • Enhancements to road networks, utilities, and flood protection measures, including upgrades to the road connecting Saint Catherine’s Airport to key landmarks.

Significance of the Project

Managed by the Central Agency for Reconstruction with funding from the New Urban Communities Authority, the project aspires to establish a spiritual and global tourism hub in the sacred area of Saint Catherine. The city is renowned for its location in South Sinai, surrounded by iconic mountains such as Mount Sinai, where Moses spoke to God, and Mount Catherine, which houses the historic Saint Catherine Monastery, one of the oldest in the world.

This project reinforces the city’s reputation as a destination for spiritual, mountain, and wellness tourism. It also includes services to enhance visitor experiences and links Saint Catherine with the coastal regions of El-Tor, Sharm El-Sheikh, and Dahab, making it a cornerstone for sustainable and inclusive regional development.
