Minister of Tourism Hisham Zaazou issued a decision to move all the idle floating hotels piled up along the Nile Corniche in Luxor governorate, in order to begin upgrading the "Tourism Marina" to keep pace with international marinas. The governorate will help the owners of these hotels choose locations for the boats, or the boat owners themselves will choose new locations, whether through mooring companies or new spots on the Nile.
For his part, the Minister of Tourism said this development aims to showcase the beauty of the Nile, make it easier for tourists to get on and off the floating hotels, prevent any injuries to passengers, and allow tourists and Luxor residents to enjoy the Corniche, in addition to improving the general appearance in a way befitting this unique archaeological tourist city. This had been a demand of all those working in the tourism sector in Luxor and in Nile tourism.
Zaazou praised the fruitful cooperation with Luxor governorate in activating all decisions that positively affect tourism in Luxor and ensure the removal of any obstacles standing in the way.
