Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany accompanied First Lady Melania Trump during her visit to Giza Plateau, which lasted for 60 minutes. The Sphinx was Melania Trump's first stop at the plateau, after which she visited the panorama area to admire Cairo from above.
El-Enany thanked her for her visit and invited her to come on a longer trip to the country to enjoy its monuments and visit Upper Egypt in order to learn more about the country's civilisation.
Melania Trump also entered Khufu's Pyramid to explore its inner architecture and secrets.
She listened to the details of a project to reduce the level of subterranean water at the plateau carried out by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
She was keen to document her visit with photos at the Sphinx and the panorama.
