Dahshur pyramids to open

The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced plans to develop and protect the site of Dahshur. The site has five major pyramids as well as many private tombs and some royal tombs. The project includes cleaning and restoring monuments, providing barriers to control access, creating safe zones around the sites and building tourist facilities. 

A spokesman for the Supreme Council said they hope to open the “Bent Pyramid” to visitors this summer and, within a year, open another pyramid on the site.
