Neighbor Cave Gains Protected Status
The Cave of Al-Jara area in New Valley Governorate has been declared a natural reserve, becoming the 32nd protected area in Egypt. This step aims to preserve the unique geological formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, carvings, and rock engravings of archaeological significance. The move is part of efforts to safeguard natural heritage and promote sustainable eco- and geotourism. A comprehensive management plan has been developed to protect the area, facilitate road preparations, and organize visits to ensure the preservation of these sensitive formations. The government is also working to transform the region’s natural assets into sustainable development opportunities that support the local economy and capitalize on the diverse natural landscape of the Western Desert.
