The Central Administration for Tourism and Beaches in Alexandria evacuated the waters of the western sector beaches, prohibiting visitors from entering to ensure their safety. They confirmed that lifeguards are being monitored on the observation towers. This action was taken due to the severe turbulence of the waters in the western sector, and red flags were raised due to strong winds leading to high waves on Friday.
Alexandria's beaches saw a large influx of citizens and visitors from other governorates coinciding with the weekend holiday, while the eastern sector beaches raised green and yellow flags due to the relative disturbance in the waters. It is noted that the green flag indicates stable sea conditions, while the yellow flag signifies that the sea is relatively unstable, allowing entry but with caution. The red flag is raised when waves are high, thus prohibiting entry to the waters.
