Egypt completes installation, operation of electronic gates system in Abu Simbel Temple area
The country also launched a website for booking tickets electronically to visit temples
Published in Daily News Egypt on 22 - 02 - 2022

To facilitate the visit of Egyptians and tourists to Abu Simbel Temple, especially with the upcoming celebration of the sun alignment on 22 February, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities completed the installation and operation of a system of electronic gates in the area of the temple.
The ministry also launched a website for booking temple tickets via the internet.

Khaled Sherif, the Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for Digital Transformation, said that the installation of the electronic gate system in the Abu Simbel Temple area comes as a continuation of the project of the ticketing system and electronic gates that the ministry is planning to apply in 32 archaeological sites throughout Egypt as a first stage within the framework of the ministry's strategy for digital transformation.
As for purchasing tickets via the internet, Sherif said that this step will greatly contribute to facilitating visits to the temples, especially in light of expectations that a large number of Egyptian visitors and tourists will be heading to Abu Simbel to witness the sun alignment on Tuesday.
He explained that the e-tickets will help organise and facilitate the movement of the visit and avoid any congestion that may occur in front of ticketing outlets.
It should also be noted that the ministry has made purchasing tickets online available for the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation and the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir as well in preparation for making this feature available to all sites and museums open for visits during the coming period.
The electronic gates system was also implemented in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Salah El-Din Citadel in Cairo, the Giza Pyramids area, Hurghada Museum, and Sharm El-Sheikh Museum.
