"CANCELLED, the controversial Downtown Corniche project, which would have expanded the land bordering the Nile at the expense of the river. The decision was announced after Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif held a meeting late last month with several members of his Cabinet and the Cairo and Giza governors. The meeting also resulted in the declaration of an alternative project to create a tourist walkway along Nile shores, though details were not immediately available".
