archaeological
sites and

been created and will be
launched for the first
time on sites around
the country.
Written By/ Nevine El-Aref.
The Geographic Information
System (GIS) at the Ministry
of Antiquities has
created an archaeological
map locating all the
archaeological sites and
museums over Egypt.
The map is in both Arabic
and English and will be
provided to all
archaeological sites
and museums.
Azza El-Kholy, the
head of the GIS department,
explained that it created
this map upon a request
from the Antiquities
Minister Khaled El-Enany,
and would facilitate
museum and archaeological
site visits for both
Egyptians and foreigners.
El-Kholy pointed out
that a number of departments
participated in the preparation
of this map including the
permanent committees
and missions as well as the
department of space and
property.
El-Kholy also added that
the GIS is in the process
of finalising a digital version
of the map to be put on the
ministry's web page that
is set to be launched in August.
