Luxor to Receive New Electric Vehicles for Tourists Along West Bank

Luxor really said ‘new year, new me.’ On the first day of 2022, the archaeological sites of the Valley of the Kings and Deir el-Bahari on Luxor’s western bank started operating environmentally friendly electric cars to transport visitors within the archaeological area easily and sustainably.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities aims to integrate sustainable tourism practices in hopes of maintaining the environmental integrity of archaeological sites. This marks the first in a total of 30 sites included in the project’s first stage.

The move follows the recent installation of e-ticketing stalls in Egypt’s archaeological sites, which help to decrease paper waste as well as waiting times for visitors.
