| As technology plays a vital role in giving the past a future, it also helps in making the stories of heritage sites more accessible, especially for tourists with special needs. However, tourism destinations face various challenges in the implementation of new interpretation technologies, Egypt is still in the early stages of development. The current paper aims at developing new interpretation technologies with particular focus on tourists with special needs. It was concluded that the Egyptian authorities should be more concerned with tourists with special needs and provide them with all services and facilities to meet their needs. It was also noted that Egyptian heritage sites require great efforts to establish a digital environment to attract tourists with special needs. | ||
