The Egyptian Cabinet’s Spokesperson Mohamed al-Homosany said that Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has discussed plans revitalizing the Nazlet al-Semman area as a tourist destination.
Homosany added in a statement on Sunday that the most prominent demands of the area’s residents for revitalizing the Nazlet al-Semman area were addressed, including integration with the Pyramids area, promoting sustainable tourism, and targeting increased tourist numbers, hotel capacity, and tourism services.
The plan also includes preserving archaeological sites while generating sustainable income.
Following the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, Nazlet al-Semman area is expected to gain greater importance and become a major tourist destination.
The strategic vision for developing the Nazlet al-Semman area revolves around two key points:
- Urban revitalization and restructuring of the urban environment: Rehabilitating and repurposing buildings and villas in line with the touristic nature of the area, in addition to upgrading the facades and revitalizing the natural urban fabric.
- Preserving the archaeological value of the site: Allowing archaeological discoveries along the ascending road, the Valley Temple, and vacant plots of land before commencing development. Development work must not conflict with preserving the archaeological value of the site, which requires the creation of a buffer zone between the archaeological area and the rest of the development areas.
Several other topics were also presented, including improving visitor experience and interaction, marketing and promotion strategies, and management discussions, alongside design and architectural proposals for developing existing buildings.
