The pyramid of Khufu closed for two months for maintenance in order to restore and maintain the Great Pyramid of Khufu from the inside, starting in June, as the Giza pyramids are considered one of the most prominent monuments in the world, and they attract tourists from all over the world to visit them.
Among these pyramids, comes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is considered the largest and most famous of the pyramids in Giza. Because of its great importance, the Supreme Council of Antiquities decided to stop visiting it from the inside, in preparation for the start of its restoration and maintenance operations, starting next June.
Restoration and maintenance operations aim to preserve these important monuments and secure them from damage and erosion caused by time and the influence of external factors. These operations include several stages, as periodic maintenance will be carried out on all the corridors of the pyramid, as well as the inner chambers and the summit of the pyramid, in addition to the burial chamber.
In the framework of facilitating the visit of tourists to the pyramids of Giza, the Supreme Council of Antiquities stated that the pyramid of Menkaure will be opened for visitors from the inside, throughout the period of closure of the pyramid of Khufu. This comes to enable tourists to see as much of these important monuments as possible.
It is expected that the restoration and maintenance of the pyramid of Khufu will continue for a period of two months, as work will be done seriously and diligently to complete these works in the best possible way, and to ensure the continuity of these monuments for future generations.
The process of restoring the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza begins in June, and it is a periodic maintenance process that takes place on a regular basis to preserve the archaeological monument and make it ideally ready to receive visitors and tourists.
This decision comes from the Supreme Council of Antiquities to ensure the preservation of the pyramid, and to ensure the safety of visitors and workers in the area. At the same time, the Supreme Council of Antiquities is developing future plans to develop the tourist area and make it one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the world.
The pyramid of Khufu is distinguished by its unique beauty and ancient history, and it is considered one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, as tourists from all over the world flock to visit it and learn about the history of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
This decision to stop visiting the pyramid is considered an important step for the restoration and preservation of the pyramid, and opening the pyramid of Menkaure for visiting during the maintenance period represents an excellent option for visitors who wish to visit archaeological sites in Egypt, and it also represents an opportunity to learn about the cultural history of ancient Egypt.
