Egypt Revamps Historical Landmarks
Minister of Antiquities Khaled Al-Anany announced that the next period will witness substantial discoveries and openings.
In his first statement since being reinstated in Mustafa Madbouly's government, Anany told press that the new government is very keen on revolutionizing historical areas and providing the correct advertising for them abroad, to show Egypt as a safe and attractive country to the world.
He added that several important historical sites will be opened or partially opened by the end of the year including: The Baron's Palace, Mohamed Ali Palace and Al-Kebash Road. Anany also announced the engineering plan for renovating the Pyramids area will be done by July, except for cables. As for the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) logo he admitted: "I am not totally satisfied with the current logo.
However, this is only a temporary logo to announced the opening of the first phase.
On the other hand, why didn't anyone notice that all except two museums in Egypt have no logos to begin with?" The minister then announced that a series of international competitions will be launched to design logos for all the museums.
Back to GEM, the minister declared that the museum's first phase will be over by the end of 2018. The museum will receive its first display window, which is being transported from Germany, within the next few days,he added. He also announced that President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi ordered the museum to be funded directly through the state budget, giving it a LE100 million/month budget.
Finally, Anany announced that Egypt is about to construct its first antique reproduction factory, with a LE one million budget, to cover productions to be sold locally and internationally. All samples will have the Supreme Council of Antiquities' stamp.
