CAIRO — Egypt is offering substantial incentives for its citizens to relocate to Sinai, especially the north, under a national plan to change the demographics of the territory and end its isolation.
The North Sinai Governorate invites Egyptians to leave their homes across Egypt to start a new life in 10 newly constructed agricultural communities in the governorate. Cairo hopes to move thousands of its citizens to these settlements and another seven in South Sinai in the coming months.
