The Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) approved on Thursday organizing several concerts in Giza and Luxor tourist sites.

SCA Secretary General Mostafa Amin said the festivals will be held in Luxor's Karnak and Giza's pyramids tourist areas from February to April 2017.

This move came in response to a request by Dr. Ayman Abdel Hadi, the chairman of the Culture Ministry's foreign cultural relations sector and head of Egypt's permanent delegation to the UN and World Trade Organization, he added.
