During the first two days of Eid Al-Fitr, Egypt’s museums and archaeological sites saw nearly 175,000 visitors, both local and international, reflecting the growing global interest in the country’s ancient heritage and reinforcing its status as a top cultural destination.
The most visited sites included the Giza Pyramids, which attracted 31,701 visitors, followed by the Karnak Temple (15,512), the Valley of the Kings (15,092), and the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir (12,869). Other notable locations, such as Hatshepsut Temple in Luxor (12,656 visitors) and the Grand Egyptian Museum (10,000 visitors), also saw high turnout. Meanwhile, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC) in Fustat recorded 5,000 visitors, and Salah El-Din Citadel welcomed around 7,000.
To efficiently manage the influx, the Ministry of Tourism, Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), and Antiquities Department established a central operations room. SCA representatives worked to monitor visitor flow, ensuring smooth management and a better overall experience at the historic sites.
With the cultural tourism sector continuing to thrive, ongoing investments and development of these sites are expected to attract even more visitors in the future, further solidifying Egypt’s position as a top destination for heritage tourism.
