On Thursday, the Pakistani Embassy in Cairo sent a congratulatory message to the Egyptian government and people for the reopening of Rams Road in Luxor city.

"Best congratulations to the Egyptian government and people for the opening of Rams Road in the beautiful and historical city of Luxor, the embassy said in a tweet.

The world’s eyes are turning to Egypt on Thursday as the Upper Egyptian governorate is set to witness the opening of Avenue of the Sphinxes connecting two huge temples.

The Pharaonic Avenue of Sphinxes (Rams Road) was a road of major processions for the kings of the Pharaohs, and various holidays were celebrated inside it, including the renowned "Opet Festival” and the coronation feast of the king.

The country opened the 3,000-year-old Avenue of Sphinxes to the public Thursday in an extravagant ceremony in the southern city of Luxor that follows decades of excavation efforts.

The ancient walkway, nearly two miles long and about 250 feet wide, was once named “The Path of God.” It connects the Temple of Luxor with the Temple of Karnak, just up the Nile river to the north.
