Sphinx courtyard set to reopen
Updated 10 Nov 2014 @ 09:35
Egypt will soon reopen the courtyard in front of the Sphinx to tourists.
The monument has been under restoration for nearly four years.
The Sphinx courtyard will be opened for the first time since the restoration. However, a date for the opening has not yet been set.
Once the courtyard is opened, tourists will be free to walk around the monument.
A small temple built next to the Sphinx by pharaoh Amenhotep II of the 18th dynasty will also be opened to the public for the first time.
Meanwhile, the Menkaure pyramid (the smallest of the three Great Pyramids of Giza) will be reopened today, November 10, after three years of restoration work.
