The report offers proposals for cultural heritage preservation that were outlined in the Government of Egypt's Environmental Action Plan of March 1992. The 1992 Action Plan cited seven cultural sites that particularly needed conservation, protection, and management: Rashid, Abu Mena, Giza, Saqqara, Islamic Cairo, Luxor, and Siwa Oasis. This report recommends action at three of those sites (Siwa Oasis, Islamic Cairo, and Luxor), and equal emphasis for institutional development (archaeological resource management). The Government of Egypt (GOE) gave the three sites discussed here the highest priority. Two of them have World Heritage status. The GOE also stressed the urgent need for long-term programs to train site managers and the need to establish archaeological databases and monitoring systems at the national level.
