The committee will include representatives from relevant state agencies and will conduct field inspections to ensure that citizens can access beaches freely in accordance with existing laws and regulations. El-Sisi also directed authorities to strictly enforce laws, regulations, and presidential decrees governing the use of land allocated for tourism activities along Egypt’s coastline. The President also ordered the formation of a separate committee to inspect real estate projects currently under development across Egypt. The presidential statement did not identify specific projects or developments in connection with the new inspections. The rapid expansion of private resorts and gated coastal communities has renewed discussions around public access to beaches, with access to parts of the coastline becoming increasingly limited for many Egyptians.
