Egypt seeks to revive tourism with archaeological discoveries

China Daily | Updated: 2019-04-30 07:02

CAIRO - With the flourishing archaeological discoveries in several provinces in Egypt this year, the Tourism Ministry has joined the Antiquities Ministry in organizing ceremonial events to promote the discoveries as the tourism industry recovers after almost a decade of recession.

The two ministries are inviting foreign media outlets to cover the discoveries. Many foreign ambassadors are invited to visit them as well, since the envoys are believed to be messengers to the world about Egypt's safety and unique antiquities.

On World Heritage Day, April 18, the ministries marked the international event by announcing the discovery of a large 3,500-year-old rock-cut tomb on the Nile River's west bank near the Valley of Kings in Upper Egypt's monument-rich province of Luxor.
