The Giza Pyramids: Accommodating Tourism, Leisure and Consumption

The Giza Pyramids: Accommodating Tourism, Leisure and Consumption IN THE NINETEENTH century a growing sense emerged among Europeans that the pyramids were “theirs.” Combined with emerging lifestyles of travel and entertainment the Giza Pyramids were integrated into an emerging global touristic map. With the advent of colonial occupation, the pyramids were slowly woven into the modern cityscape of Cairo which in turn engendered changes in the surrounding landscape. Issues of free access, convenience and the comfort of various groups of tourists and pleasure seekers have dominated colonial and subsequently post–colonial policies with regard to the pyramids and their vicinity.

Abstract

IN THE NINETEENTH century a growing sense emerged among Europeans that the pyramids were “theirs.” Combined with emerging lifestyles of travel and entertainment the Giza Pyramids were integrated into an emerging global touristic map. With the advent of colonial occupation, the pyramids were slowly woven into the modern cityscape of Cairo which in turn engendered changes in the surrounding landscape. Issues of free access, convenience and the comfort of various groups of tourists and pleasure seekers have dominated colonial and subsequently post–colonial policies with regard to the pyramids and their vicinity.
