Egypt rolls out digital ticketing across 110 museums and archaeological sites
Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has completed the installation and activation of self-service ticketing machines at the Saqqara archaeological site. This initiative aligns with the Ministry's digital transformation strategy and directives from Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, aimed at enhancing services within archaeological sites and museums, thereby improving the tourist experience through the use of advanced technology. These new machines allow both Egyptian visitors and tourists to easily purchase entry tickets using bank payment cards. This move is expected to alleviate congestion at traditional ticket booths and supports the shift towards providing smart, advanced services within Egypt's tourist destinations. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, explained that this service is a key component of an integrated electronic system for booking tickets to museums and archaeological sites. This system also includes options for purchasing from mechanized ticket windows or via the official online booking website. He added that the Ministry is progressively rolling out these machines across various open museums and archaeological sites nationwide, following a defined timeline. This expansion aims to boost service quality and elevate the overall tourist experience. Mohamed Shaaban, Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for Digital Services, affirmed that these machines exclusively accept electronic payments via bank cards. He also noted that the electronic booking system further includes the Experience Egypt mobile application, available on both the Play Store and App Store, in addition to a centralized ticket sales center catering specifically to tourism companies. He clarified that the electronic ticketing system has now been activated at 110 museums and archaeological sites across the republic. Notable locations include the Giza Pyramids area, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the Citadel of Salah El-Din, Deir El-Bahari Temple, Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, and Abu Simbel Temple in Aswan.
