About Tourism And Antiquities

Ministry of Interior attaches great attention towards tourist security, as it is considered one of the fundamental poles of National Income in Egypt. It started since 1949 when Tourism Police Department was established mainly to serve Ministry of Tourism. In 1956, the Department has become responsible for museums, ancient palaces and Egyptian Museum. In 1963, the title has officially become "Tourism, Museums and Antiquities Security Department", subordinate to Public Security Department.
