‘Bela Plastic‘ campaign is an initiative launched in Dahab in an effort to protect the environment and marine life in Dahab.

President of the City Council of Dahab, Tarak El-Baz announced the launch of the initiative in early July, the campaign will include workshops and trainings to help raise awareness about the danger that plastic use impose on the marine life. These workshops will be targeted towards the hotels and restaurants, where plastic is most used.

Moreover, banners and warning signs will be placed across the city of Dahab as another way of spreading awareness and caution to tourists. What’s even more impressive is that volunteer tourism organizations and a number of dive centers will take part in the initiative by cleaning up the beaches of Dahab.

Such a remarkable step follows a decision that was taken three months ago by Governor Ahmed Abdullah to ban the single-use plastic in the Red Sea governorate. 

Another initiative was launched in South Sinai reserve called “Khali al-Bahar Yetnafes”, also targeting the hotels and resorts. Aiming to raise more awareness on the critical issue of single-use plastic.

We hope to see the results of these initiatives very soon, and for the outcome to be apparent in the next few months, especially with Dahab being a touristic destination for its environment and stunning marine life that attracts many tourists, preserving its sites is certainly a must.

No further information of the incident was provided and no injuries have been reported so far, hopefully everyone got out safely during the evacuation.

Minister of Investment and International Cooperation, Dr Sahar Nasr has sat down with Lino Cattaruzzi, the Managing Director for Google Middle East and North Africa to discuss future plans of the company in North Africa with Egypt being the primary focus in the region.

At first, discussions included the possibility of reopening the google’s office in Egypt but then an updated statement announced that Google will be hiring a team for its Cairo office.

Recruitment plans include hiring a new country manager, as well as employing staff to start working in Egypt immediately.

“For over a decade, Google has served Egyptian users and businesses with its products, services, and digital skills training. In the coming months, we will begin hiring for a team to be based in our Cairo office,” the company said in a statement without sharing any further details about its recruitment plan.

Google never really closed its office in Egypt despite not having a team based out of Cairo, the office was used for when the company’s staff came to Egypt to meet with their partners, clients and stakeholders.

This agreement gives us utter pride as we aspire for more successful and strong relationships with multinationals companies and mega corporations such as Google.

Hopefully in the near future, we will be able to take on more significant steps towards developing Egypt’s economy.
