Marina Roman Theater Reopens with Major Renovation
The Roman Theater in Marina Alamein is set to officially reopen this coming Friday, following comprehensive renovation and restoration works that aim to revive its historic role as a cultural and entertainment landmark on Egypt's North Coast. According to Eng. Mohamed Khalafallah, Head of the Tourist Villages Authority, the theater will serve as a vibrant gateway for artistic and recreational activities across Marina's various districts. The venue now includes a tourist hotel with 24 rooms, an indoor cinema, and a beachfront area with facilities for children and families. The main auditorium can accommodate up to 6,000 people, making it one of the largest open-air venues in the region. In a statement to Youm7, Khalafallah confirmed that a series of celebrations will kick off on July 11, in line with the Ministry of Housing's strategic plan to enhance the cultural footprint of Marina and restore the Roman Theater's status as a leading artistic venue. The development also includes parking areas, weekly shows, family-oriented entertainment, and events throughout the summer season. Oversight of the renovation works is being conducted under the direction of the Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, with a focus on improving services and enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors of Egypt's coastal tourist villages. Khalafallah noted that the redevelopment project was awarded to a private company under a usufruct (right-of-use) agreement, ensuring efficient management and operation while maximizing investment potential and safeguarding public assets. The Marina Roman Theater has a rich legacy, having hosted legendary Arab artists such as Amr Diab, Nancy Ajram, and Kadim Al Sahir. Its return is expected to boost cultural tourism and reposition Marina Alamein as a top destination for entertainment and recreation in the region. تم نسخ الرابط

Michael Douglas Quits Acting at 80
Yara Sameh Michael Douglas, who is at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival to present a newly restored print of Miloš Forman's classic 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' — which he won an Oscar for as a producer on the 1970 classic — opened up about his future plans as an actor. The 80-year-old revealed that while he's not officially retired from acting, he has 'no real intentions' of returning to the big screen. 'I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop,' Douglas said. 'I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set. I have no real intentions of going back. I say I'm not retired because if something special came up, I'd go back, but otherwise, no.' Douglas last appeared on the big screen in 2023's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and starred in 2024's "Franklin", an Apple TV+ biographical series about Ben Franklin. The projects finished filming three years ago, and Douglas hasn't worked in front of the camera since. The actor did hint at 'one little independent movie' that he is 'trying to get a good script out of,' but besides that project, he has no other plans to return to films, and is 'happy to play the wife' to Catherine Zeta-Jones. 'I am happy for Catherine to go to work – and she is very busy,' he said. The topic of Douglas' future came up after he discussed his battle with tongue cancer, pointing out his course of action allowed him another decade of roles. 'Stage 4 cancer is not a holiday, but there aren't many choices, are there? I went with the program, involving chemo and radiation, and was fortunate,' he noted, adding that his friend and actor Larry Hagman died from a similar diagnosis. 'The surgery would have meant not being able to talk and removing part of my jaw, and that would have been limiting as an actor.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
