CAIRO, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Egypt is busy preparing for the 11th Pan-Arab Games slated for Nov. 11 to 25, an official of the organizing committee said Thursday.
The venues of the Pan-Arab Games will be in eight governorates in Egypt, namely Cairo, Giza, Port Said, Ismailia, Alexandria, Assiut, Aswan and North Sinai, said the official on condition of anonymity.
According to earlier reports by local media, it's estimated that some 7,000 athletes and officials from 22 Arab countries and regions will participate in the upcoming Games, but the exact number of athletes and the agenda have not been fixed.
The Egyptian State Information Service will establish a media center during the event, the official MENA news agency reported.
The Pan-Arab Games are one of the most important regional multi-sport event held in the Arab world, with the first Games being held in 1953 in Alexandria, Egypt.
Due to political turmoil and instability in the region, the Games have failed to be held every four years as originally planned since 1965.
