Summary
Abu Mena, an Egyptian World Heritage Site, faces significant management challenges that threaten its archaeological values and tourism potential. A study applying the 'Enhancing Our Heritage' (EOH) methodology identified critical issues such as high groundwater levels and inconsistent developmental planning. The research proposes a model to assess management effectiveness at heritage sites in Egypt, using qualitative interviews with officials at Abu Mena. It highlights the need for partnerships with international and local organizations to implement development plans within a defined timeframe, aiming to mitigate risks and enhance site preservation.
