The Ministry of Tourism will pay the compensations for the housing units on the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes in Luxor, which have increased to 150 houses, for the main purpose of making the required archaeological excavations, so that the avenue would extend between Karnak temple and Luxor Temple.

The Ministry would also pay the costs for establishing 1,000 houses at Al-Taref Village, as a primary step for moving 4,000 families living on archaeological tombs on the western bank in Luxor.

Other 1,000 houses would be built by the Ministry of Culture and 2,000 houses by the Ministry of Housing.

According to Luxor Supreme Council Chairman Samir Farag, the new plan in Luxor aims mainly at finding resolutions for all the problems in Luxor on three bases: the Luxor citizen, tourism in Luxor and the monuments of Luxor.

He said he would review the original integrated plan of developing Luxor that was laid by the United Nations Development Fund. Farag added that the project of planning the Karnak region would be submitted for international tender.

In the meantime, Farag said that the implementation of Opera Aida project in Luxor, starting next year and for five years to come is expected to promote tourism in the city.

Farag noted that he would pay great concern to the issue of setting new anchors.
