| There is a relationship between world heritage sites and tourism as the world heritage site represents an attraction for a large number of tourists, this causes huge deteriorations and a need for ongoing maintenance for these sites. There are many factors that threaten the archaeological sites. These elements affect the visitor’s satisfaction and in the same time may cause deterioration to the site. This study aims to check the current situation of the Monastery of “St. Simon El Kharraz” visitor management practices, some results and some suggested recommendations to promote the area for visitor management. The results of the research have been conducted to determine what is necessary for visitor management to improve the services in the archaeological heritage sites. The research is recommended for the importance of “the Monastery of St. Simon” in “Mokattam” and the continuous improving services in it. | ||
