CAIRO — Alexandria governorate has recently launched a new project to stimulate tourism and revive the governorate's heritage, announcing the rehabilitation and operation of the Belgian-made historic trams manufactured in 1931.
Maj. Gen. Mohamed El-Sherif, governor of Alexandria, said in a statement Oct. 6 that bringing back the historic tram is a “wonderful” idea to revive the Alexandrian heritage, and remind the city's residents of the long history of the tram station that dates back more than 90 years.
