Before the 2011 revolution, thousands of tourists explored Luxor’s temples every day. Now only a few hundred make the visit. Many people have lost their jobs and struggle to provide for their families.
As part of a #USAID project, The American Research Center in Egypt has hired more than 500 local villagers to work on an archaeological dig in Luxor’s Valley of the Nobles; most of these men used to work in tourism. Now they have an income again and can support their families while tourism returns to Luxor.
