The new system employs advanced, eco-friendly LED technology designed to showcase the architectural brilliance of these ancient wonders while preserving their structural integrity.
As part of a broader national strategy to improve services at archaeological sites and museums, the project seeks to strike a balance between innovation and heritage conservation.
“The Giza Pyramids are not only iconic symbols of Egypt but also masterpieces of ancient engineering,” said Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy.
“Upgrading their internal lighting underscores our commitment to both preservation and innovation.”
Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), explained that the new lighting system uses cool, low-impact LEDs specifically chosen to prevent damage to the original materials within the pyramids.
Implemented by a joint team of Spanish and Egyptian specialists, the project was based on rigorous scientific studies and technical evaluations.
“This lighting upgrade is about more than just visibility,” Khaled added. “It enhances the site’s sustainability and offers visitors a deeper appreciation of the geometry and symbolic complexity of ancient Egyptian architecture.”
The improvements cover all interior pathways, passageways, burial chambers, and architectural features.
According to Ashraf Mohie El-Din, Director General of Giza Antiquities, the result is a more immersive and visually striking experience—one that maintains historical authenticity while increasing accessibility and engagement.
