The decision excludes three museums: the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

 

Museums will also organize archaeological exhibitions, cultural and artistic activities, awareness events, and guided tours as part of the celebration.
