Overview
- Felipe VI called the Spanish‑installed lighting and security at Luxor’s Temple of Hatshepsut “espectacular,” a project enabling nighttime visits and stronger protection.
- A consortium led by Tragsa and Isdefe deployed 3,105 luminaires and 512 cameras over a 10‑kilometer perimeter, with firms including Varona, Scati, Salicru, Dorlet, Ojmar, Electra Molins, Virtualware and Thomas.
- In Luxor, the monarchs visited the tombs of Ramses V/VI and Seti I and received briefings from archaeologists Myriam Seco and José Manuel Galán on long‑running Spanish missions.
- Earlier in Cairo, Queen Letizia visited the Ciudad de los Muertos to open a Spanish‑funded photo exhibition and review an AECID–Fundación Sultán program of about 150,000 euros for women and children.
- The state trip, grounded in February’s Spain‑Egypt strategic partnership, also highlighted security upgrades at Giza and the Valley of the Kings and Spanish finds now displayed at the Luxor Museum.
