ملخص المشروع
Sphinx Avenue is situated on the east bank of the Nile river and is the junction between Luxor and Karnak temple. The 2,700 -meter long infrastructure is one of the oldest of its kind. It was annually used during the Opet Festivals, where Ancient Egyptians joyously paraded along the road while escorting the statues of Amun and Mut as an allegorical representation of their marriage. Unfortunately, over the years, this iconic road has been completely neglected and has led to the construction of many unplanned urban settlements in the area. Golden Triangle’s main objective is to preserve the area’s historical legacy and heritage by relocating the buildings and providing the area with major tourist attractions and hospitality services in order to utilize the historical land. In addition, the project aims to lower the corniche to be at ground level with sphinx avenue in order to provide an undisturbed view of the Nile and form a connection between the two.
