The Pyramid of Chephren (Khafre) has officially reopened after a decade-long renovation, in a bid to boost tourism in Egypt.

The pyramid, the second largest in Giza, measures 136m (446ft) tall, and houses the tomb of the Pharaoh Khafre. Following the restoration, during which the pyramid was closed for more than 10 years, tourists can now visit up to six tombs within the structure.

Antiquities minister Muhammad Ibrahim, who reopened the pyramid, said he was “keen to stress that Egypt is now safe for visitors.”

The reopening of the pyramid comes after tourism fell sharply following the uprisings of 2011. Although reports have showed that tourism is on the increase again, figures still hasn’t reached pre-2011 numbers.

The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) however, remains strong on its advice to warn visitors against travel to the capital city, Cairo, and to avoid any demonstrations. The website states, “If you become aware of any nearby protests you should leave the area immediately.”
