The Secretary-General Inspects Archaeological Sites in Fayoum, Gharbia, and Dakahlia to Monitor Restoration and Development Projects

 Under the directives of Mr. Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, a comprehensive initiative is underway to restore and enhance archaeological sites across the Republic. This project aims to preserve Egypt’s cultural heritage while significantly improving the visitor experience. As part of this effort, Dr. Hisham El-Leithy, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), conducted an extensive inspection tour through Fayoum, Gharbia, and Dakahlia to monitor progress and ensure that Egypt tours continue to meet the highest international standards.

During his visit to Fayoum, Dr. El-Leithy reviewed the modernization of museum storehouses and the complex groundwater drainage project at the Hawara Pyramid. Such technical advancements are vital for maintaining the integrity of historical sites included in Egypt day tours. He also inspected the Lahun Pyramid and the Monastery of Archangel Gabriel, where restoration work and excavations are currently being managed by international teams.

In Gharbia and Dakahlia, the tour focused on Islamic and civil architecture, including the restoration of the Great Al-Mutawalli Mosque and the Mohamed Bey El-Shennawy Palace. These sites represent the diverse cultural wealth available to those booking Hurghada day tours that extend into the Nile Delta and beyond.

For travelers seeking deeper exploration, the ministry’s efforts ensure that extended excursions, such as a 2-Day Luxor Day Tours from Hurghada, offer stable and well-preserved monuments. Furthermore, the focus on infrastructure and site accessibility supports more ambitious itineraries, like a 2-Day Adventure from Hurghada to Cairo and Luxor or a comprehensive 2 days Luxor and Abu Simbel trip from Hurghada.

The SCA emphasized that preserving the structural and decorative elements of these sites is key to a high-quality tourism product. Beyond traditional archaeology, the region continues to offer diverse experiences, including a Stunning Sindbad submarine, Quad Safari and Hurghada Day Tour for those seeking adventure. Meanwhile, historical enrichment remains a priority, ensuring that every Amazing tour to Karnak & Luxor Temples and Banana Island from Hurghada remains a world-class experience.

By applying modern scientific methods to ancient sites, Egypt continues to strengthen its position as a premier global destination, blending sustainable development with the timeless majesty of its civilization.
