As part of the collaborative effort between the Community Service and Environmental Development Unit at the Higher Institute of Engineering - Akhbar El-Shorouk Academy and the South Sinai Governorate, a request was made by the Governor of South Sinai to the Higher Institute of Engineering in Shorouk. Dr. Ahmed Hamdy Fouad, a lecturer in the Department of Architecture, was assigned to redesign and rehabilitate the Mid-Hill Chalets and its urban spaces and landscape in Sharm El-Sheikh.

This project aimed to support the rehabilitation and development of Sharm El-Sheikh as Egypt's premier tourist destination, ensuring it meets sustainability standards and quality of life criteria for visitors and residents. The goal was to enhance its image and make it a distinctive destination.

The project received full support from:

• Lt. Gen. Dr. Ahmed Said Abdel Rahim, Chairman of the Academy
• Prof. Dr. Joudeh Ghanem, Vice Chairman
• Prof. Dr. Moataz Taleb, Dean of the Higher Institute of Engineering

The redesign and rehabilitation efforts were completed in preparation for promoting the city, especially for the COP 27 Climate Conference. Lt. Gen. Khaled Fouda extended his gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Ahmed Hamdy Fouad for his efforts in the redesign and rehabilitation of the Mid-Hill Chalets and its surrounding urban spaces in Sharm El-Sheikh.
