Egypt a Key Route for Millions of Migratory Birds, Environment Official Says

Egypt serves as a major and safe stopover for migratory birds travelling between Europe, Asia and Africa, according to Dr Hussein Rashad, director-general of the northern region’s nature reserves at the Ministry of Environment.

Rashad attributed that role to Egypt’s geographical position, which connects the three continents and places the country along key migration routes.

Millions of birds pass through Egypt during their journeys, making the country an important corridor as well as a stopping point along the way.

His remarks highlighted the significance of Egypt’s location for bird migration, with its role extending beyond a transit route to providing a safe stopover for birds on the move.
