Egyptian flag raised at Bolivia's Valley of the Moon

CAIRO – 18 September 2024: The Egyptian flag was raised alongside those of other countries at Bolivia's Valley of the Moon to mark the strong relations between the two countries that date back to 64 years ago.

The flag was raised by Ambassador Hatem al-Nashar in a ceremony attended by the governor of La Paz – the city housing the government – as well as a number of Bolivian senior officials, members of the Egyptian diplomatic commission, and Egyptian expats.

The Valley of the Moon is located 4,000 meters above sea level, and got its name from the resemblance of its topography to that of the moon. The natural formation – which is the outcome of erosion caused by strong winds and water – is a tourist attraction, especially that it offers a beautiful multicolor sunset view.
