Free tour to a group of archaeological areas

CAIRO – 18 August 2017: The cultural development and the archaeological awareness department affiliated to the Ministry of Antiquities, Islamic Art Museum, the Egyptian Association for Arabesque Art, Sayyda Zeinab and Azhar antiquities will organise a free tour to a group of archaeological areas.

The tour will be on Saturday, August 19 on 9:30 a.m. The tour program will include a number of archaeological areas like El Tabakh Moseque, Youssef Agha Mosque, El Banat Mosque and Islamic Art Museum.

The Egyptian Museum located in Tahrir Square will celebrate the Nile flooding day by organising two free guiding tours to its visitors. The two tours will be in Arabic on August 18 and 24, but if an English language tour is needed it will be provided upon request.

The museum piece of the month is a limestone Qstrava describing Hapy the Nile God. It was chosen to reflect the importance of the Nile. The tours are tailor made to be informative about all the displayed artifacts that are related to the Nile such as the boats.
