EGP 10,000 Fine for Street Butchering & Waste During Eid Al-Adha
Veterinary Director Sabry Zeinhem warned that illegal commercial slaughtering may lead to fines and jail time. May 30, 2025 Cairo authorities have announced strict penalties for anyone found slaughtering animals in public streets during Eid Al-Adha, with fines reaching up to EGP 10,000 and potential jail time. Governor Ibrahim Saber confirmed that environmental violation reports will be issued against those who leave behind waste or blood in public spaces. To maintain hygiene and public health, slaughtering outside official abattoirs is strictly prohibited. The city's government-run slaughterhouses—El-Aly, Girco, Salam, Momtaz, Tora, Helwan, and 15 May—will operate around the clock throughout Eid, offering their services free of charge. Facilities include pre- and post-slaughter veterinary inspections, holding pens, and vehicle waiting areas. The Governor also banned the setup of live animal stalls or markets in public areas, warning of immediate legal action for non-compliance. The Cairo Cleaning and Beautification Authority will be on standby to remove slaughter-related waste and ensure environmental safety. Veterinary Director Sabry Zeinhem reiterated that unauthorised commercial slaughtering can result in severe penalties, particularly for repeat offences. Individuals who carry out sacrifices in the streets or outside their homes may also face legal consequences under public sanitation and environmental protection laws. Citizens are urged to report violations via the following hotlines: 27426993, 27427053, or 19561.

Medieval Wall Fragments Found During Al-Sayeda Aisha Square Revamp
The uncovered wall sections formed part of Cairo's 12th-century fortifications under the Fatimid dynasty. May 01, 2025 Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber announced the discovery of fragments of the city's medieval defensive wall during redevelopment works at Al-Sayeda Aisha Square. The square is being transformed into a pedestrian tourist corridor linking the Citadel to mosques like Al-Rifa'i and Sultan Hassan, with increased green spaces and a ban on vehicular traffic. Saber confirmed the imminent dismantling of the accident-prone Al-Sayeda Aisha Bridge, built in the 1980s and linked to 15 crashes in 2024 due to its hazardous curvature. Traffic will be rerouted via a new axis behind Al-Masbah Mosque, connecting to Salah Salem Road via a planned overpass. The first phase of the alternative route is nearing completion, with a second-phase bridge over the Civilisations Axis to follow. The uncovered wall sections formed part of Cairo's 12th-century fortifications under the Fatimid dynasty. No preservation plans were detailed, but the governor stressed the revamp prioritises pedestrian safety and heritage visibility.
