The story of the Egyptian dog that climbed the top of the pyramid of King Khafre, the second largest pyramid in Giza, continues to enchant people from across the world.
After an American tourist offered an amount equal to LE 100,000 to buy the dog, and another asked to pay LE 25,000 to take a selfie with him, the US tourism company King Tut Tours began to take an unprecedented and exciting step.
The company launched its new tourism program in US and Canada to visit Egypt in a five-day program that includes a trip to Giza Pyramids, a visit to the now partially-open Grand Egyptian Museum, and even organizing and arranging lunch in the company of the famous pyramid-scaling dog.
Tourism expert Mohamed al-Sherbiny, the Chairman of King Tut Tours, said that this program is unique because the timing of this dog climbing to the top of the pyramid coincided with Egypt’s announcement of a trial opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Sherbiny added that linking the incident of the dog to the opening of the museum has caused a sensation online and in global media.
He pointed out that this has fueled the desire among a large segment of Americans to visit Egypt and its monuments, and learn about its long, rich history.
Sherbiny added that the most important point is that the company is the only one in the world that had rushed to organize an exclusive lunch with the famous dog.
