Alexandria to promote slow tourism as part of EU-funded Med Pearls project

Egypt has launched an EU-funded program designed to promote “slow tourism” and encourage travelers to spend longer stretches of time in “less-known areas,” according to the local press. The three-year Med Pearls program covers Egypt, Greece, Jordan, Italy, Palestine, and Spain. Egypt will focus on Alexandria’s Al Montazah and Al Alamein, where the program will invest EUR 3 mn to develop and advertise cultural, culinary, and family tourism.
