Famed
American actor Will Smith and his family arrived in Cairo early this morning
and paid a visit to the Giza Plateau where they met renowned archaeologist Zahi
Hawass, who guided the family on a tour around the Sphinx and inside the Great
Pyramid of Khufu.
Hawass
discussed with the Smiths the secrets of the Khufu Pyramid and the latest
discoveries being uncovered at the plateau.
The
former minister of antiquities told Ahram Online that Smith and his family
enjoyed admiring the sun rise on the plateau, learning about ancient Egyptian
civilisation and taking photographs before the Sphinx.
Smith
and Hawass have been good friends since 2006 when they were selected among Time
magazine's top 100 men and women whose power, talent or moral example is
transforming the world.
Hawass
told Ahram Online that Smith is from Philadelphia, the city where Hawass
received his PhD. Hawass and Smith enjoyed breakfast together in a luxury hotel
overlooking the plateau and planned to meet again for dinner. Smith
received an Oscar nomination for portraying Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of
Happyness in 2007.
