As per the report, Egypt's immense archaeological richness is luring the tourists from around the world. The enduring fascination, particularly in Europe and the US, with the pharaonic era of Egypt's past is a major pull. The Giza pyramids are one of the world’s must-see sites, and the tombs and temples of Luxor and Abu Simbel are globally renowned. Other pharaonic sites along the Nile Valley are driving the tourism industry in Egypt.
