The museum is not only home to the world-famous Royal Mummies Hall, but also serves as a vibrant centre for learning, intercultural dialogue, and global engagement. Its exhibitions, educational programming, and public initiatives have made it a beloved institution for Egyptians and international visitors alike," he added. "As part of an ongoing journey, the Hope Giver launch is expected to inspire young people and future generations, showcasing how hope can serve as a powerful catalyst for building brighter, more inclusive futures," said El-Kamony.
