The project is titled Delivering Sustainable Heritage Strategies for Rural Egypt: Community and Archaeology at Tel El-Amarna, and is funded by the Newton-Mosharafa Fund organised by the British Council and the Science and Technology Development Fund, according to Mostafa Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities at Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities.
The project's main effort includes the development of the existing visitors' centre at Tel Al-Amarna, but also includes the development of outreach programmes, training for visitor centre staff, the preparation of a local guidebook, children's education material, a film and an app for use at the site in association with the centre.
The project continues a long history of collaboration and partnership between the University of Cambridge and the Tel Al-Amarna site.
The visitors' centre was first opened in 2016 to highlight the reign of the quasi-monotheistic King Akhenaten by displaying replicas of the king's tomb along with a collection of fully furnished palaces and houses in Amarna's royal district.
