LUXOR, Egypt — Mummies might be the solution to this country’s tourism woes.Foreign visits to the Arab world’s most populous country, long vital to Egypt’s economy, have declined by around half in the wake of two passenger flight crashes, one a confirmed instance of terrorism, according to government statistics.
But archaeological tourism is helping Luxor buck the trend in Egypt, where foreign visitors to the pyramids and Red Sea beaches contributed around 12 percent to the national economy in recent years.
