 Luxor - Eco – Nariman Yanny : Within the framework of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ strategy for a comprehensive digital transformation in archaeological sites and museums, the operation of the first phase of electronic payment machines for entry tickets to the Luxor and Karnak temples began today, which will replace the manual ticket payment system  ...

 

Dr. Khaled Sharif, Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for Digital Transformation, explained that the operation of the first phase of the ticket system enables tourists to obtain electronic tickets to enter these temples and pay for them using credit cards, which are read using a hand-reader.
