Hurghada to open new museum in coming months

A new museum in Hurghada is set to open at the end of the year or early next year, state news agency MENA quoted Antiquities Minister Moustafa Waziri as saying. The project is a public-private partnership, El Waziri said, without mentioning the construction cost. Earlier press reports indicate that the facility will be the Red Sea town’s first major museum, with a collection of 1000 cultural artifacts.
