“We are no strangers to the Egyptian arts and culture scene. We have supported several artists and organizations whose goals are to unleash Egyptian artists’ limitless potential locally and beyond, starting from Art D’Egypte to Omar Khairat concerts over the past few years. Therefore, supporting and celebrating our heritage was our natural next step,” according to the company’s statement.

The exclusive night started with a keynote speech by Minister of Antiquities Khaled El Anany, followed by a tour, a gala dinner, and a performance by Al Nour Wal Amal Orchestra. The celebration welcomed 300 attendees, of which 70 were VIPs, ranging from ministers to ambassadors and celebrities.

Established in 1901, the Egyptian Museum features 120,000 artifacts, with a large amount on display and the remainder in storerooms.
