Abstract

The article discusses a $30 million renovation aimed at enhancing the visitor experience at the Pyramids of Giza, which attracts approximately 2.5 million visitors annually. The project, a public-private partnership with Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris' Orascom Pyramids Entertainment, includes the introduction of a car-free environment, new hop-on, hop-off buses, upgraded facilities, and fine dining options. The changes, which officially launch on July 3, coincide with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum and are part of Egypt's broader goal to double annual tourist numbers to 30 million within a decade. Additionally, efforts are being made to manage aggressive hawkers and improve overall visitor safety and satisfaction. [Extracted from the article]
