People should not be allowed to hold weddings at ancient historical sites

People should not be allowed to hold events at historical sites, Amr Hashem Rabie writes in a piece for Al Masry Al Youm. He argues that out of concern for national heritage, authorities should stop giving individuals permission to hold weddings at ancient sites such as the temples of Karnak and Philae. The preparations alone — such as setting up for lights and music (not to mention the guests who would then be running around) — could be destructive and can accelerate the erosion of monuments that have stood for thousands of years.
