The beach of Sidi Bishr, east of Alexandria, witnessed devastating effects, as a result of the “Baqi Al-Maktsa” formation, which is characterized by strong sea currents and high waves, which led to the erosion and erosion of the beach. The sand was exposed to the bottom of the stairs leading directly to the beach.
The Marine Protection Authority increased the number of concrete blocks on Sidi Beshr Beach to repel the force of the waves and prevent them from reaching the Corniche wall, which is exposed to grave danger.
The “Broom Rest” nucleus comes at the end of November of each year, revealing the beaches most exposed to erosion and erosion in Alexandria, due to the severe weather phenomena accompanying them, which are represented by strong winds that reach speeds of 50 kilometers per hour, and lead to strong sea currents. And the waves rise to 3 meters, all of which are factors that lead to instability in the sea, and greatly affect the sandy areas on the beaches.
It is noteworthy that the “Broom Rest” blows on Alexandria at the end of November, and it also lasts 4 days and includes some weather phenomena, from southwesterly winds with severe storms and rain, and it was named by this name because it “sweeps” the sea due to the strong sea currents.
