Khufu pyramid to reopen within a month
The spokesperson for the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities Soha Bahgat said on Saturday that the Khufu Pyramid, one of the Great Pyramids of Giza, is set to reopen within a month after being closed to visitors due to maintenance.
Bahgat assured that this procedure is normal but has not been done for some time.
The periodic maintenance process is being done from the inside in order to help preserve it, she explained.
The pyramid is exposed to issues such as dust, moisture and droplets from visitors, she said, which is why maintenance must be regularly undertaken.
