CAIRO – 20 December 2017: As the Christmas season rolls around, the Governor of Cairo, Atef Abdel Hamid, announced on Wednesday that Cairo’s public parks will open their doors to the public for free on Christmas day, which falls on January 7.

Abdel Hamid stressed that strict directives have been given to the presidents of the districts to make field visits to the local churches and the nearby streets and stores, ensuring that elaborate security measures are effectively put in place, including surveillance cameras.

Also, the governor announced that tickets for the Nile bus trips will be 50 percent off.
Earlier on Wednesday, the spokesman of the Coptic Church Paul Halim said that the Holy Christmas mass on January 6 will be held in the New Administrative Capital led by Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria.
