The Sinai Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotels in Ras El-Bar celebrated Sinai Liberation Day with a special seminar under the theme "Threats and Challenges Facing Egypt’s National Security."
The event drew a large crowd of students, faculty members, and notable guests, including Dr. Mostafa El-Zaghl, Chairman of the Institute’s Board of Directors, Dr. Ibrahim El-Assal, Deputy Chairman and Dean of the Institute, and journalist Mohamed El-Iskandarani.
Kicking off the seminar, Dr. El-Zaghl stressed the importance of instilling national pride and awareness in young people, especially on meaningful occasions like Sinai Liberation Day.
“This day isn't just about remembering a victory — it’s about honoring the willpower of the Egyptian people and their deep connection to their land,” El-Zaghl said. He reminded students of the enormous sacrifices Egyptians made to reclaim every inch of Sinai, praising the historic role of the armed forces and Egypt’s leadership.
Meanwhile, Dr. El-Assal picked up on the same theme, highlighting the Institute’s responsibility in shaping a new generation that values its history and identity.
"National belonging isn't taught only in textbooks," El-Assal explained. "We believe in reaching our students through real conversations, events, and encounters that keep them connected to Egypt’s proud story."
He also emphasized that building strong national awareness goes hand in hand with what students learn in the classroom, helping create young leaders who are informed, confident, and loyal to their homeland.
In turn, journalist Mohamed El-Iskandarani praised the Institute as a “beacon for nurturing national spirit” among students.
He underlined the importance of equipping young people with accurate, trustworthy information from reliable sources — not just to strengthen their Egyptian identity, but also to help them appreciate the sacrifices made by past generations, and the achievements driving Egypt’s future.
The event wrapped up with a clear message: the spirit of Sinai’s liberation lives on, inspiring a new generation to carry forward the values of sacrifice, loyalty, and pride.
