Professor Mohamed Sami Abdel-Sadek, President of Cairo University, invited members of the University Council to contribute to the Grand Egyptian Museum by holding a council meeting today. This initiative reflects the university`s commitment to supporting major national organizations and fostering the academic community`s engagement with Egyptian heritage. Immediately following the meeting, the President led an extensive tour of the museum, encouraging all faculties to arrange similar visits for their students and faculty members during the break.

The tour included exploring the various wings of the museum, which is the world`s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization, housing over one hundred thousand artifacts covering Egyptian history from prehistoric times to the Roman era. Among the museum`s most prominent features is the Grand Atrium, which boasts a strikingly tall statue of Ramses II. The tour then proceeded to the Grand Staircase leading to the main hall, where artifacts are arranged thematically and effectively, showcasing ancient Egyptian society, beliefs, and art. The Egyptian Museum`s Treasures Halls, dedicated to King Tutankhamun, are showcasing for the first time the complete collection of artifacts discovered within his golden tomb. This collection includes reposes, ornate coffins, unique jewelry, and other artifacts from the museum`s unique structures. The modern museum is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including comprehensive control systems and precise lighting, ensuring optimal viewing effects and easy access.

This visit is part of Cairo University`s initiative to revitalize its faculties through cultural and national projects. The Egyptian Museum is fully utilized as a cultural and educational resource, allowing volunteers and researchers to contribute to their scientific and academic projects. It is anticipated that this visit will be followed by extensive academic and student visits in the coming period, highlighting the university`s role in fostering awareness of Egyptian heritage and supporting this pioneering national project.
