Egypt Promotes Archaeological Sites to Boost Tourism

Egypt is leveraging its archaeological heritage to rejuvenate tourism, particularly with the anticipated opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which officials project could attract an additional 7 million visitors annually. This significant cultural site aims to connect the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids through a new tourist walkway bridge. The GEM’s partial opening last year was a precursor to its full launch scheduled for November 1, 2025. This initiative is part of Egypt’s broader strategy to enhance its tourism sector and showcase its rich history.
