Urbanization threatens Pyramids
The Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza are the most recognized objects in Egypt and attract millions of tourists each year. Cairo is an expanding city and inches its way closer to the Sphinx and Pyramids annually. Even more, you can now stay at hotels walking distance from the Pyramids.
The Giza Hilton offers a “Pyramid view” golf course. The urban expansion toward Giza has different negative effects on the historic landmarks. Finally, the urban development is an eyesore.
