This project aims to revitalize the potential of Mit-Rahina, a historically significant village next to oldest pyramid, Saqqara.
Mit Rahina is a village south of Cairo, near the Saqqara Pyramid, surrounded by historic sites and agricultural landscapes.
Timeline shows Memphis's establishment, decline with Babylon and Cairo, rediscovery in the 19th century, and UNESCO recognition in 1979.
The journey to Mit-Rahina included ferries, tuk-tuks, excavation sites, local vegetation, waste issues, daily life, and Mit Rahina Museum.
The micro-level map highlights inputs like tourists, water, and excavation sites, processes, and outputs such as waste and health issues.
The graph shows international visitor trends, highlighting peak and low periods, reflecting seasonal fluctuations in tourism numbers.
The chart displays national visitor numbers, showing seasonal highs and lows, with peaks reflecting increased domestic tourism activity.
Solid waste output from local tourists is 65.6 kg annually, while international visitors generate 2046 kg, mainly from plastic bottles.
Liquid waste from local tourists totals 43,744 liters annually, while international visitors 1,364,464 liters, driven by water usage.
Gaseous waste includes 3,417 kg of carbon emissions from local visitors and 95,939 kg from international tourists using buses annually.
The chart highlights current and future waste challenges in Mit Rahina, projecting significant increases in solid, liquid, and gaseous waste
The diagram outlines challenges in transportation networks, including bad roads, emissions, traffic jams, and lack of rest facilities.
Mit Rahina’s transport includes tuk-tuks, cycles, motorbikes for locals, private cars for tourists, and buses near museum areas.
The map outlines Mit Rahina’s meso-level tourism inputs (hotels, transportation, tourists) and outputs (solid, liquid, gaseous waste).
The diagram highlights meso-level challenges, from transportation and waste issues to future risks like greenhouse gases and habitat loss.
The map illustrates tourist destinations and routes in Egypt, including Nile cruises, air paths, and key sites in Upper and Lower Egypt.
The map shows global tourist flows to Egypt, highlighting major contributors like Eastern Europe (50.6%) and the Middle East (18.9%).
The vision for Mit Rahina is to create a zero-waste, eco-tourism destination, preserving heritage, engaging locals, and connecting nature.
The action plan transforming Mit Rahina into a zero-waste destination by promoting recycling, eco-infrastructure, and visitor engagement.
The action plan includes electrified transport, revitalized river ports, visitor accommodation, local engagement, and travel experiences.
The self-sufficient museum acts as a catalyst, addressing carbon emissions through solar energy, recycling, and sustainable practices.
The self-sufficient museum includes facilities like workshops, a semi-open parking area, an info center, a restaurant, and a prayer room.
The self-sufficient museum incorporates existing elements, such as Ramses Gallery, Ramses Statue, and kiosks, to enhance cultural tourism.
The museum parking area will serve as a community hub after hours, available for locals from 4:00 PM to 10:00 AM.

The pilot project focuses on revitalizing the museum and surroundings with solar panels, open areas, canopies, and improved facilities.
Liquid waste recycling system for the museum reuses 246.436 liters annually from sinks, filtered for sustainable practices and efficiency.
Encourage visitors to avoid plastic bottles by offering filtered public water sources throughout the museum area for free refills.
Recycling plastic bottles into 3D printer filament allows creating souvenirs while reducing waste, aligning with the tourism concept.
Separate waste collection at the museum can be achieved with dedicated bins for recycling and compost, turning waste into valuable resource
Visitors are encouraged to stay longer by exploring maquette showcasing excavation sites, crafted from recycled plastic for added engagement
Solar panels are installed to meet the museum's 16.44 kWh daily energy needs, enhancing self-sufficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
Installing solar panels at Mit Rahina Museum will cut 3,000 kg (3 tons) of annual CO2 emissions, promoting sustainable energy use.
Enhancing visitor experiences at Mit Rahina involves creating shaded areas, using local materials, and offering jobs to boost local engageme
Semi-open spaces near kiosks allow producers to demonstrate their craft, fostering connections between visitors and the local community.
Semi-open units from palm leaves extend visitor experiences to excavation areas, promoting prolonged engagement with the Mit Rahina Museum
Installing solar energy panels for flats, workshops, and cafés reduces 12,696 kg of carbon emissions, supporting sustainability goals.
