The Italcementi Group, through its subsidiary Italgen, has signed a memorandum of understanding in Cairo with the Ministry for Energy and Electricity aimed at the possibility to create a major wind farm located in the district of Gabal El Zeit, on the Red Sea coast. The memorandum is part of the energy policy plan issued by the Egyptian government to support foreign investments for the development of renewable energies, first of all wind and solar energy.
Italcementi, within the framework of the positive relationships of collaboration between Italy and Egypt, has been closely and actively working with the Ministry for Electricity and Energy for some time to identify a feasibility plan for international investments in the wind sector, in accordance with the Egyptian Government’s Development Plan of ensuring at least 20% of electrical power will be generated by renewable sources by 2020.

| Red Sea Beaches |
|
|
For the growing number of those who choose to spend their Red Sea holidays in small downtown hotels or in rented flats or houses which most likely don't have direct access to a beach, there are a number of nice public beaches open all year round. Each week we will present u one of the most popular ones.
Giftun Island & Mahmya Beach
You cannot visit Hurghada without taking the trip to Giftun Island. This idyllic reef sand island is completely enclosed by a beautiful garden of vibrant corals and exotic marine life. Here, you can soak up the glorious Egyptian sunshine on the sand beach or swim in the crystal clear waters. The reef is home to vibrant corals, a seemingly infinite number of brightly colourful tropical fish, and if you are lucky you may even see rays, turtles and dolphins.
Snorkeling is the best way to see the reef in all its glory and all the necessary equipment is provided free of charge. You will also have the the chance to sail to other nearby coral islands where you can snorkel and swim.
