Egypt’s culture ministry is preparing to unveil several projects that have been completed after being the focus of its agenda over the last two years up until the present.

The general authority of books has been enhancing the Sherif Library, and the organisation’s head Haytham El-Haag will oversee it’s opening during the first week of August.

Nivine Kilany, the head of the culture development fund, announced the opening date of Aisha Fahmy Palace to be Wednesday 20 July.

According to Ahram Arabic news website, Kilany stated that once the palace is received from the contracting company, the fund will begin transferring management to the Fine Arts Sector, which will proceed with running the palace’s activities.
