Tutankhamun's tomb, the most important archaeological discovery in history

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb on November 4. It was discovered by the British Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922, so we publish what was circulated on international websites and newspapers about King Tutankhamun, the greatest king of the Pharaohs.

For the third time in a row, the British newspaper The Telegraph published a report on Egypt tours and tourism in Egypt, and this time it chose the golden mask of the young king Tutankhamun as one of the tourist icons in the world that must be seen during your Egypt travel packages.

The report provided an accurate description of this mask and its design, noting that it consists of a layer of pure gold studded with precious and semi-precious stones, in addition to being one of the unique pieces that dazzled the world and increased their passion for the history of Egypt and ancient Egyptian civilization.

Currently on display at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the golden mask is set to be transferred to the Grand Egyptian Museum upon its opening, joining the other treasures of the young king.

The report reviewed the details of the story of Egyptologist Howard Carter’s discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the western mainland of Luxor during his Egypt day tours in 1922 and what was discovered inside it, and listed some information about King Tutankhamun, his family, the duration of his reign, and his death as a young man.

It is worth noting that the British newspaper The Telegraph had issued two other reports, the first on choosing Egypt as the best tourist destination to travel to on Egypt luxury tours during the year 2021 after ending the lockdown policy in the United Kingdom, and the second on Egypt Nile cruise tours, which it described as enjoyable and the best river cruises in the world. It also presents the treasures of ancient Egyptian civilization and its natural tourism components in an impressive way.

CNN Travel also chose Egypt as one of the best 21 safe tourist destinations for travel in 2021. Egypt also ranked first in the world among the most sought-after tourist destinations during the current period, according to an opinion poll conducted by the Swiss magazine Travel Inside, which specializes in tourism affairs.

In line with The Telegraph's praise, CNN Travel included Egypt among the 21 safest tourist destinations to visit in 2021. Egypt's appeal as a sought-after destination was further affirmed by a survey conducted by Swiss magazine Travel Inside, which ranked Egypt group tours as the top choice for travelers. The city of Alexandria gained recognition from Trip Advisor as one of the most popular tourist destinations globally in 2021, while Cairo and Hurghada were celebrated as premier destinations in 2020.

These accolades and ongoing international recognition underscore Egypt's enduring charm and its ability to captivate visitors with its rich history, archaeological marvels, and vibrant culture. Whether one embarks on Egypt Christmas tours or enjoys Egypt Easter tours, Egypt continues to dazzle and inspire travelers from around the world.
