The Inspection Department of the al-Silsilah Archeological Area in Aswan Governorate announced the development of the al-Silsilah area, placing it on the tourist map of Aswan Governorate as a river marina that will accommodate as many cruise ships as possible.
The Department said in a Sunday statement that the project has been long-awaited, coming after planning and several development proposals alongside many demands to establish a large river marina that lasted for four years.
The department added that the Nile Research Institute started the project by studying the work done on developing riprap shoreline structures across a distance of approximately 170 meters, extending the old ripraps as a prelude to starting the berth work.
It also set technical and financial measurements in preparation for implementation.
