The programme, forged in collaboration with civil society organisations dedicated to animal welfare, marks a significant stride in aligning Egypt’s ancient treasures with contemporary humane practices. The ministers, flanked by officials and animal welfare experts, roamed the periphery of the pyramids, where veterinary convoys diligently vaccinated camels and horses. This initiative, he said, will systematically affect archaeological sites throughout Egypt, prioritising them based on urgency and scope of the area. This measure extends across all archaeological sites in Egypt, such as Saqqara, Nazlet El-Simman, Luxor and Aswan, reaching even into the heart of rural Egyptian communities. For their part, they expressed appreciation for the ministers’ dedication to both their welfare and the tourism sector’s growth.
