Saudi prince rented Pyramids for $40 million for marriage Proposal

It is being reported by the BBC that in corrupt Egypt, a Saudi Emir rented the entire pyramids archaeological area to propose to his girlfriend.

The BBC quoted the UK-based Quintessentially as reporting that the Saudi prince had used the company to rent out the Giza Pyramids area and flown 300 family members and friends to Egypt to see him asking his sweetheart to marry him in front of the pyramids. The rent and a private ceremony held at the archaeological site cost $40 million, according to BBC.

The director of the Giza Pyramids area Ashraf Mohey Eddin denied the news. Holding weddings in the archaeological area is banned under Egyptian law, said Mohey Eddin, adding that no concerts may be held at the archaeological area except upon permission from the Minister of Antiquities and the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
