The Tourism and Antiquities Ministry and Luxor Governorate are preparing opening activities for the upcoming Avenue of Sphinxes event in the coming weeks. The celebrations came as governmental officials represented by the Minister of Local Development Mahmoud Shaarawy and Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled al-Anani visited Luxor to follow up on the projects to revive the Avenue of Sphinxes. Excavation work continues in the Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor Governorate, with 98 percent completed in preparation for the grand celebration expected at the end of this month. The officials also inspected the development done on the existing fountain and the construction of squares in the path of the Avenue. In January the Tourism and Antiquities Ministry started a project to restore 29 sphinxes at Luxor’s Karnak Temple.
