Red Sea Governor Cites Hurghada's 'Family Resort' Beaches as Model for Open Shoreline Access

The Red Sea governor has pointed to the 'Family Resort' beaches in Hurghada as a model for how the coast should implement presidential directives calling for open, unobstructed sea views, according to Osoul Masr.

The report did not detail what changes, if any, have been made to the beaches themselves, nor did it specify which stretch of shoreline is covered under the 'Family Resort' name or who manages it.

The comments follow President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's order banning construction within 200 metres of Egypt's shoreline and calling for inspections of beach access nationwide. Red Sea authorities have been highlighting compliant sites as examples for other developers and municipalities along the coast to follow.

For residents and visitors, the push is aimed at keeping stretches of public beach genuinely open to the sea rather than walled off by private development — though this report gives no indication of enforcement timelines for beaches that do not yet meet the standard.
