The Administrative Court of the State Council has postponed consideration of a lawsuit calling for the protection of the Giza Pyramids archaeological zone from certain events and activities allegedly held within the historic site. The session was adjourned to June 27 to review the commissioners’ report.
The case seeks to suspend and annul what was described as a negative administrative decision involving failure to take necessary legal measures to safeguard the archaeological area. It also calls for activating supervisory roles to address activities conducted within the protected zone.
According to the lawsuit, concerns were raised over nighttime celebrations using high-frequency sound equipment that could potentially affect the ancient stone structures, in addition to laser lighting systems claimed to be inconsistent with international standards for illuminating heritage sites.
The filing further demands a halt to any excavation or construction works—temporary or permanent—within the archaeological perimeter for the purpose of organizing such events.
The lawsuit was filed against several officials in their official capacities, aiming to ensure the preservation of one of the world’s most iconic historical landmarks.
