Controversial Egyptian slum removal mars Giza Plateau upgrade
The Nazlet al-Saman slum blemished the Giza Plateau for many decades, but its ongoing removal is bringing criticism of the government.

The Nazlet al-Saman slum formed over the years only meters from the Great Pyramids of Giza and kept growing.
