'Only in Egypt' can you immerse yourself into history and 3 hours later enjoy Red Sea beach

CAIRO - 12 September 2020: During a Saturday visit to Upper Egypt’s Luxor and the Red Sea’s Hurghada, Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Enany said Egypt gives tourists the opportunity to see into Pharaonic history and enjoy the beach in one day.

In Luxor, where Enany inspected the renovation of 29 ram statues behind Karnak temple, he met a group of U.S. tourists and gave them free visits to Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum. He also met Ukrainian tourists and gave them a free visit to Tutankhamen tomb in Luxor and the museum of the young king’s treasures in Hurghada, which is only a 3-hour drive from Luxor.

"Only in Egypt you can enjoy such an exciting day: the beautiful Nile and the splendid archaeological sites of Luxor in the morning and then after only a 3 hours drive, you find yourself on the amazing sunny beaches of Hurghada, to enjoy swimming and the best sunset on a cruise in the Red Sea. The icing on the cake is the new display of a collection of Tutankhamen’s treasures at Hurghada museums. Egypt has it all," Enany wrote on Instagram.

The minister posted pictures of himself with the Luxor tourists and at the Red Sea in Hurghada. In his tour, he inspected the strict anti-Covid-19 measures as the country prepares for a busy winter season for tourism.
