CAIRO – 5 June 2022: The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities started operating the electronic ticketing system at the Luxor Museum, Mummification Museum of Ancient Art in Luxor, Esna Temple and Dendara Temple, as part of the ministry's plan for digital transformation, and the development of an integrated electronic system of entry in all archaeological areas and museums open for visits nationwide.
Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for digital transformation Khaled Sherif explained that the ministry’s plan for digital transformation aims to activate the electronic system in 30 archaeological sites and museums open for visits, which is scheduled to be fully implemented by the end of 2022.
Sherif added that operating the electronic ticket system will contribute significantly to improving the experience of visitors, as well as speeding up and facilitating the process of entering museums and archaeological sites.

Furthermore, Sherif confirmed that the digital transformation projects carried out by the ministry contribute to raising the efficiency and capabilities of workers at the ticket and collection counters, and introducing them to modern technology systems.
For his part, Engineer Islam Mamoun, the director of the company implementing the project, stressed that the company is exerting every effort to provide all requirements for the implementation of the project according to the time plan set by the ministry.
