National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Adds Korean Language to the Audio Guide Service in the Royal Mummies Hall
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) welcomes cooperation with all embassies to add more languages to its audio guide service.
The museum has introduced the Korean version of the audio guide service within the Royal Mummies Hall as part of the efforts made by the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization to enrich visitor services and to shape the museum experience according to the current trends in the international museums in the framework of the cooperation between the museum and the Korean Embassy in Cairo.
Introduction of Korean language is part of the continuous development of the audio guide service by the museum that was initially introduced in 2024. Korean also becomes part of Arabic and English, which contributes to not only the needs of the visitors of other nationalities but also the enhancement of the cultural communication between peoples. This is crucial when Egypt is still gaining attention of international tourists with a great variety of Egypt tours and cultural tours organized.
He added that the audio guide service allows visitors to embark on a unique educational journey inside the Royal Mummies Hall while preserving the atmosphere of calm and reverence within the hall, where direct guiding is prohibited. This makes it an ideal experience for guests enjoying programs such as 12 Days Cairo, The Nile, and Hurghada During Easter or a cultural Nile Cruise combined with visits to historic sites in Cairo.
For her part, Ms. Fayrouz Fekry, Deputy CEO of the Museum Authority for Administration and Operations, explained that the inclusion of the Korean language represents an important step toward improving the quality of the museum experience and enhancing the interactive services provided to visitors. She emphasized the museum’s openness to cooperating with various embassies to add more languages to the audio guide service, ensuring the needs of visitors from all over the world are met—especially those traveling with Egypt Eastern Tours during peak seasons.
She also pointed out that the audio guide service is offered for an additional fee paid alongside the museum entrance ticket and can be obtained through the ticket counter. Meanwhile, the museum continues to provide guided tours inside the Central Hall and the Egyptian Textile Hall three times daily in Arabic and English, in cooperation with the Tourist Guides Syndicate. Visitors can also make advance online reservations at least 48 hours before their visit via the museum’s official website—an option frequently used by travelers booking 4 Days Cairo Short Break During Easter or combining Cairo with destinations like Sharm El Sheikh as part of a Sharm El Sheikh Easter Tour.
