Mustafa Marie – Egypt Today
UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), called on the world to “discover the wonderful Egyptian civilization through the electronic initiative launched by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, entitled Explore Egypt From Home”.
In a tweet on Sunday, UNESCO praised the Egyptian initiative, describing it as an “important means that contributes to protecting the well-being of citizens, breaking down the barriers created by the novel coronavirus and emphasizing that culture is much needed in times of crisis.
The ministry launched several virtual and video guided tours at some Egyptian archaeological sites and museums for the world. The tours can be accessed at official pages of the ministry as well as its various social media platforms.
This comes during the house and self-isolation quarantine imposed by countries of the world, as a precautionary measure against the COVID-19 outbreak.
