The Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority took part in organising a familiarisation trip for a number of travel agents from various Spanish cities, in cooperation with tour operator Sama Travel, to visit Historic Cairo and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
During a workshop held on the sidelines of the trip, Mohamed Mohsen, Director General of the authority's Overseas Offices, reviewed the diverse tourism products that distinguish the Egyptian destination, particularly cultural tourism. He also spoke about the Grand Egyptian Museum, which opened on 1 November this month, as well as the development of Historic Cairo.
During the familiarisation trip, the delegation expressed its amazement at the Grand Egyptian Museum and the unique archaeological treasures of ancient Egyptian civilisation, as well as the way they are displayed, which keeps pace with international display methods and reflects the greatness of Egyptian civilisation through the ages. The delegation also visited a number of archaeological sites in Historic Cairo, where they listened to explanations of their history and cultural value.
