The following improvements to the site of Giza are being implemented to make the visit to the Pyramids and the Sphinx a more enjoyable one.

New road: Built around the perimeter of the archaeological site to eliminate traffic and reduce damage caused by vibration, pollution and noise.

Animals: Camels and horses will be kept outside the road ring. People who want to ride will be able to do so outside the road, with a beautiful view of the Pyramids.

Buildings: No new buildings will be allowed inside the ring road, and all existing buildings will be removed, to make the view better and protect the monuments from building projects.

New entrances: With parking space for cars and tour buses. Visitor centers will bring information about the pyramids before entering the site. There will be one educational center specifically for students and school groups.

Transportation: Visitors will take new electric cars up to the monuments, making the site more pedestrian friendly.
