> Authorities are looking to promote tourism at Dahshur, located about 17 miles south of central Cairo.

> The site, which lies in the open desert, attracts just a trickle of visitors and is currently free of the touts and bustle of Giza.

> The promotion of Dahshur is part of a wider push to boost tourism, an important source of foreign revenue for Egypt that dipped steeply after the country’s 2011 uprising before gradually recovering.
