Egypt’s Min. of Tourism & Antiquities completes equipping Cairo Airport’s Terminal 2, Terminal 3 museums

CAIRO – 22 April 2021: Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has completed equipping the Airport Museums in passenger halls 2 and 3. A date for the official inauguration will be set soon.

The museum exhibition scenario has been implemented in both museums.

The airport museums aim to promote cultural tourism in Egypt to attract and encourage tourists, especially transit passengers, to visit archaeological and historical sites and museums.

The area of Terminal 2 Airport Museum is approximately 150 m. Terminal 3 museum includes about 70 artifacts, carefully selected by the Supreme Committee for Museum Exposition Scenario. 

The airport's artifacts were selected from the stores of a number of museums, including the stores of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the Suez Museum and the Greco-Roman Museum, to feature the different eras of the Egyptian civilization, including the ancient Egyptian, Coptic and Islamic times.

Located in a privileged place, the museums will also include outlets to sell gifts and souvenirs, as well as one of the most important outlets for selling antique reproductions.

Identification cards for all the pieces housed in the Terminal 2 and 3 Airport Museums have already been completed.
