President Sisi opened on Saturday, ‘Al-Fayrouz fish farming’ project, east of Al-Tafra’a, Port Said governorate.

Presidency spokesman Bassam Rady said that the project is the largest of its kind in the Middle East, representing a new achievement added to the series of huge developmental accomplishments that Egypt is currently witnessing under the leadership of President Sisi.

The giant project would contribute greatly to the development of the Suez Canal area and the Sinai Peninsula by establishing new industrial and urban communities; It provides 10,000 direct and indirect job opportunities in many professions and specialties in this field.
