This March 25, 2020 photo, shows the empty Sphinx complex of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. "Everything collapsed in a flash," said Sayed el-Gabri, a souvenir vendor, as he stared at the almost empty complex of Egypt's famed Giza Pyramids. It was not unexpected, but the evaporation of the stream of visitors to the ancient site was still a shock to el-Gabri and other tourism workers. He saw it coming, as the government stepped up its measures to slow the new coronavirus' spread, culminating in a ban on all international flights in and out of the country.
