Amr El-Feki, CEO of United Media Services, and Dr. Maya Morsy, Minister of Social Solidarity, conducted an inspection tour of the New El Alamein Festival.

During the tour, Morsy checked out the entertainment area and got information about the festival’s activities at the open festival beach and the Roman Theater.

 

 

Morsy commended the New Alamein Festival's solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza by donating more than 60% of the profits to the Palestinians.


 

“Egypt brought 80% of aid to the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the Red Crescent and the National Alliance for Civil Development, with donations from families and civil society” Morsy recounted.


 

The Minister of Social Solidarity continued: “The New Alamein Festival confirms Egypt’s support for the people of Gaza, as the Palestinian flag was raised on all icons and banners at the festival.”

 

 

 

The second edition of the New Alamein Festival kicked off on July 11 and will continue to August 30.

 
 
 
It features a wide range of artistic and sporting events, following the success of the festival's first edition last year.
 
 
In accordance with the state's plan to reduce electricity load consumption, New Alamein Festival will hold 50 percent of its activities during the day.
 
It was announced during the press conference that 50 percent of the festival’s activities will be during the day, in addition to relying on solar energy and electric generators.
 
 
Given the current circumstances, the Alamein Festival has decided to launch its second edition under the slogan 'Alamein, the World,' raising the beloved Palestinian flag to flutter freely, with pride and dignity, alongside the Egyptian flag.
 
 
The festival has also decided to allocate 60% of the profits from the second edition of Alamein festival to support our people in Palestine.
 
 
 
 
This means that every Egyptian or Arab family participating in the festival's activities and events will be supporting a Palestinian family.
