On Sunday, August 9, 2026, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly officially opened the revamped June 30 Corniche in Matrouh governorate. Madbouli accompanied the visit with a tour of the "Treasures of Egypt in Matrouh" exhibition, showcasing Egypt's cultural diversity. The coastal upgrade is part of a larger initiative to improve infrastructure and roads, including the construction of 100 km of roads within Matrouh city.
Governor Mohamed El Zamlout highlighted the project's aim to keep up with rapid growth, accommodate population increase, and meet heightened tourist demand. The renovated corniche features expanded lanes, a modern tourist promenade, landscaping, and interlock paving. It also includes 570 new lighting poles and improved traffic signs and U-turn zones to enhance safety and traffic flow.
The development added 45 new cafes and retail outlets, along with expanded sandy beach areas. The upgrades were a collaborative effort between the Matrouh Governorate and the Armed Forces Engineering Authority, working on a 2-km segment of the corniche. Madbouly also appreciated the exhibition's quality and diversity, emphasizing its role in marketing products, supporting small industries, generating employment, and preserving traditional crafts.
