When the Power Station was built, it was outside of town, but due to the expansion of the city the Power Station is now located in the middle of southern Hurghada. The visit itself started with a warm welcome and an introduction session with Eng. Abdelhameed Mahmoud, who gave us an interesting presentation about the Power Station and its essential components.
