Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Alaa Farouk has decided to open the Agricultural Museum and Egypt Flower Exhibition in Dokki, Giza, free of charge to visitors on October 8, 9 and 10, as part of celebrations marking the October 6 Victory.
The minister directed that all halls of the Agricultural Museum be opened free of charge, allowing visitors to explore Egypt’s agricultural history and development through the ages.
The museum features heritage collections, scientific exhibits, the Plant Wealth Hall, the Cotton Museum, Ancient Egyptian Agriculture Hall, and halls covering the Greek, Roman, Coptic and Islamic periods, as well as the Syrian Hall and the Egyptian-Chinese Friendship Museum.
Farouk also called for a range of cultural, artistic and entertainment activities throughout the celebrations, targeting different age groups and Egyptian families.
