CAIRO — Egyptian tourism authorities have spent 2018 trying to boost tourism through different methods, including inviting 10 American bloggers to capture the images of the country’s natural and archaeological treasures and share them with the world. Ironically, the photo and video that has gotten most of the attention at the end of 2018 — with more than 5.6 million views — outraged rather than pleased Cairo.
The images were taken by Danish photographer Andreas Hvid, who chose Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Khufu — commonly known as the Pyramid of Giza — as a venue for his “Nude Arts” album. In this album, Hvid captures "moments when human beings appear in their natural state — naked or having sex — at emblematic landmarks of global civilizations."
