Dahab aims to become a no-plastic zone with new initiative

Dahab has launched an initiative to become a no-plastic zone in a push to protect the environment and safeguard marine life, Egyptian Streets reports. The City Council is running a campaign to raise awareness of the harm caused by plastic waste, and is providing training sessions to hotel workers. Voluntary clean-ups are also taking place, targeting waste on the beach and in the sea. Red Sea governor Ahmed Abdullah banned single-use plastics in June 2019, and officials in Hurghada have been seeking to provide alternatives to plastic bags to help enforce the ban.
