Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif asserted that Egypt is keen to benefit from UNESCO's expertise in maintaining the special nature of the Egyptian city of Luxor.
The government is now examining a UNESCO offer to declare Hassan Fathy village a heritage park, Nazif said.
Nazif's remarks came at a meeting he held in his Smart Village office with a number of ministers to review a comprehensive plan to develop the city of Luxor.

Quite too late, isn't it ? What is left to protect ? Certainly not much on the west bank, don't speak about Luxor city... Surrealistic.
there is a big problem with some apparent proposals to knock down local homes on the side of the road entering Luxor from the airport to create what? ... gardens?And what about the community living there????Is this what they call development and is UNESCO helping with this?
