50,000 tickets sold... Italians compete for the "Treasures of the Pharaohs" exhibition

The "Treasures of the Pharaohs" exhibition, currently being held at the Scuderie del Quirinale hall in the Italian capital, Rome, has witnessed remarkable public turnout since Italian President Sergio Mattarella officially opened it two days ago.

The opening ceremony was attended by Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy, his Italian counterpart Alessandro Giuli, and Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mohamed Ismail Khaled. Thousands of visitors flocked to the exhibition, queuing from the early hours of the morning to admire the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities explained that 50,000 tickets have been sold so far, an increase of 10,000 tickets compared to the first day of the opening. He noted that, given this large turnout, the exhibition organizers expect the number of daily visitors to reach between 6,000 and 7,000. This has prompted them to explore the possibility of extending the exhibition's opening hours to the evening, allowing the largest possible number of visitors to view the unique artifacts on display.

He pointed out that the large turnout reflects the Italian public's interest in Egyptian civilization and is a clear indicator of the exhibition's tremendous success since its first day of public attendance. This will contribute to promoting Egypt as a tourist destination in the Italian market, which is one of the most important export markets for tourism to Egypt.

It is worth noting that the "Treasures of the Pharaohs" exhibition includes 130 artifacts selected from the collections of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and the Luxor Museum of Art, telling the story of ancient Egyptian civilization through various themes, including kingship, the royal court, religious beliefs, daily life, funerary rituals, and the afterlife.
