For his part, Minister of Antiquities Mamdoh Damaty reviewed a report about the mains goals of establishing the holding company.
The goals included turning archaeological sites in Egypt into comprehensive tourist and entertainment projects that will lure more tourists to Egypt, Damaty said.

The company will provide trained cadres assigned to work in archaeological sites, Damaty added.
