Aboul Dahab said visits to archeology sites increased this year by 50 percent, with Egyptians making up more of the increase than foreigners. The most visited sites were the Giza Pyramids, Salah el-Din Citadel, and the Egyptian Museum. According to Aboul Dahab, there were no security problems, and the increased amount of visitors did not cause any problems. These visits demonstrate that Egyptians care about their antiquities and appreciate their history, he added. Eid el-Fitr is the three-day feast that follows the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
