Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber and Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Dr. Sherif Farouq inaugurated a one-day market in the Gamaleya neighborhood of the Wast Al-Qahira district. That comes as part of the second phase of the One-day Markets Initiative. It is a collaborative effort between the Cairo Governorate, the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, and the Holding Company for Food Industries. The initiative aims to provide high-quality food commodities at prices 20% to 50% lower than those in other markets.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Deputy Cairo Governor Ibrahim Abdel Hadi, Chairman of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce Ayman Ashri, Chairman of the Holding Company for Food Industries Dr. Alaa Nagi, and several officials of the Cairo governorate.

During the inauguration, Governor Saber said the initiative aligns with the directives of the political leadership to combat high prices, provide food commodities to citizens at affordable prices, and offer all possible support.

Saber added that the one-day markets initiative has helped transform citizens into partners and monitors of the markets by enabling them to compare the discounts offered with the prices of goods in different regions. He also noted that the locations of these markets change based on supply, demand, and the needs of the citizens.

Moreover, Saber stated that one-day markets meet citizens' needs by offering fresh products, such as vegetables, fruits, and other food items, at reasonable prices. These markets also provide a variety of goods that cater to different social groups, thereby enhancing citizens' ability to meet their daily needs affordably. 

Saber also urged Cairo residents to purchase their weekly necessities from the temporary markets and take advantage of the discounts.

Saber further instructed the district chiefs to provide logistical support to the markets and to promote their expansion within the districts, ensuring that citizens have access to high-quality goods at reasonable prices.

The Gamaleya one-day market, which opened on the morning of Sunday, July 27, operates from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It offers a wide range of basic commodities, including oil, sugar, rice, ghee, pasta, detergents, and soap, as well as poultry, meat, milk, cheese, vegetables, fruits, juices, honey, legumes, and eggs.
