The President also praised the Supreme Council of Antiquities for its tireless efforts to restore the original colours of these thousands-years-old temples.
Madbouly was accompanied by the Ministers of Tourism and Antiquities, and Local Development during the inspection visit.
Luxor is awaiting a number of large openings during the coming period.
Madbouly said, “I will make more visits to the area until the opening date. We are keen to improve the image of Egypt in front of the whole world. The ceremony of transferring the Royal Mummies was a unique event and the world will talk about it for a long time”.
During a press conference, the Prime Minister expressed his happiness that several tourists from various European nationalities conveyed their satisfaction of their stay in Egypt.
Madbouly also welcomed the participation of a large number of representatives of foreign and local satellite channels in this tour.
