As part of Alexandria Governorate's celebrations of its National Day, Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, decided to open all archaeological sites and museums in Alexandria, including the Graeco-Roman Museum, the Royal Jewelry Museum and the Alexandria National Museum, free of charge to visitors on Thursday, July 24, 2025.
The decision comes in light of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities' keenness to take part in national, cultural and local events and to shed light on occasions that reflect the civilizational and historical dimension of Egyptian society, while at the same time raising archaeological and tourism awareness among citizens, especially young generations.
The initiative also aims to encourage domestic tourism and support tourism activity in Alexandria Governorate during the summer season by introducing visitors to the unique tourism, archaeological and cultural assets that distinguish the city as one of Egypt's most important coastal and historical tourist cities, and to discover its ancient history and visit its museums and archaeological sites, which embody its civilizational depth stretching across the ages.
