Egypt's Prime Minister Champions Tourism Development Near Giza Pyramids
In a significant move aimed at boosting Egypt’s tourism sector, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly recently brought attention to some prime real estate located near the iconic Giza Pyramids and the soon-to-be-unveiled Grand Egyptian Museum. During a critical meeting with tourism investors and local officials, discussions centered on harnessing the region’s rich historical heritage to attract substantial investment and enhance tourism prospects in the area.
The spotlight shone on the potential of several vacant plots of land that the National Centre for Planning the Uses of State Lands (NCPSLU) identified as perfect for tourism projects. Nasser Fawzy, the head of NCPSLU, provided an in-depth overview of these available plots and the exciting avenues they create for future development. With the Grand Egyptian Museum set to open its doors soon, the anticipation for a surge in tourist arrivals is palpable, and effective plans are being laid to capitalize on this momentum.
A notable point raised during the discussions was the emphasis on accommodating the expected influx of visitors. Governor of Giza, Adel El-Naggar, highlighted the various plots located in the governorate’s investment zone, which are conveniently close to both the pyramids and the museum. These prime locations are poised to be made available for interested investors looking to make their mark in the tourism sector.
Hossam El-Shaer, Chairman of the Tourism Chambers Federation, further emphasized the potential growth in the sector, noting the strategies underway to boost hotel room availability to ensure that tourist needs are met efficiently. This is increasingly vital as the tourist economy plays a pivotal role in Egypt’s overall economic framework.
Additionally, several key figures, including Ahmed El-Wassief of Wings Holding and Bassel Sami Saad of ALDAU Development, contributed ideas for dynamic tourism and entertainment activities that could enrich the visitor experience. Saad even proposed that the area be transformed into a specialized private investment zone, complete with a master plan and an international promoter to position it as a world-class tourist destination, thereby luring significant foreign investment.
This proactive approach not only signifies Egypt’s commitment to enhancing its tourism infrastructure but also reflects a promising outlook for its economy and job creation in the region. The excitement builds around Egypt’s rich cultural tapestry, poised to welcome tourists from around the globe.
With these developments, it’s clear that Egypt is on the brink of a tourism renaissance that promises to highlight its ancient wonders while paving the way for modern investment and growth.
