The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Inspects the Saqqara and Mit Rahina Archaeological Sites

To keep track of the latest progress at archaeological sites and oversee ongoing restoration and development, Dr. Hisham El-Leithy, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, conducted an inspection of the Saqqara, Abusir, and Mit Rahina areas. His tour included the primary entrances, the newly established museum storehouses, and the activities of foreign archaeological missions. This level of maintenance ensures that Egypt tours remain a world-class experience for history enthusiasts.

The visit also focused on the Open-Air Museum at Mit Rahina and the final stages of the new storehouse, which is being prepared for handover. Dr. El-Leithy noted that these inspections follow the directives of Mr. Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, aiming to elevate the efficiency of Egypt day tours. By enhancing the cultural value and visitor experience at these World Heritage sites, the Ministry ensures that every Cairo day tours itinerary meets international standards.

While touring the Saqqara Necropolis, the Secretary-General emphasized the need for modern infrastructure, including a comprehensive visitor center at the new entrance. This development is crucial for those embarking on a Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, National Museum of Egyptian Civilization & Old Cairo, as it creates a seamless journey through Egypt's timeline. He also prioritized the installation of advanced lighting and electronic surveillance systems to protect the artifacts.

Dr. El-Leithy directed the transfer of artifacts to the modern storehouses, which offer a high-security environment. For travelers who enjoy a Cairo Tower Night Tour & Felucca Ride, seeing these sites preserved with such care adds to the city's evening charm. The tour also covered restoration work by the Czech mission at the tombs of Ptahhotep and Akhethotep, and findings from the Cairo University mission, highlighting the depth of research available to those who Explore Fayoum with an Overnight Camping Experience in Wadi El Hitan or other scientific heritage sites.

The inspection continued to the Serapeum and the Mit Rahina Open-Air Museum, home to the colossal statue of Ramses II. Dr. El-Leithy ordered an integrated development plan for the museum to improve displays and signage. While some visitors take a Day Trip to Abu Simbel from Cairo by Air to see massive monuments, the development at Mit Rahina offers an equally impressive look at royal history closer to the capital.

For those planning a Day Tour to Abdeen Palace and the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, the ongoing upgrades at Saqqara and Mit Rahina provide even more reason to explore the region’s diverse history. The Secretary-General concluded by stressing that the new storehouse must be completed by the end of April. These efforts ensure that even a Luxor and Aswan 2 Days Trip From Cairo Day Tours is complemented by a well-organized and world-class experience within the Cairo and Giza archaeological circuits.
