CAIRO - 14 August 2018: Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Animal, Fisheries and Poultry Affairs Mona Mehrez denied raising the zoo tickets price.

In a statement on Tuesday, Mehrez asserted that the price of the zoo ticket stands at 5 pounds, seven days a week.

Mehrez pointed out that a proposal on upping the zoo ticket price to 25 pound, one day a week is currently under consideration, with the selected day to be decided later.

While, the zoo ticket price is set to remain unchangeable over the rest of the week, for students and during celebrations, trips and official holidays, she said.

The State allocated LE 35 million for modernizing the zoos nationwide, she said, adding that revenues from increasing the ticket price one day a week will go for the development plans of the zoo.
