The Grand Egyptian Museum illuminates its facade in blue to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day

 Egypt will not let World Autism Awareness Day, observed on April 2nd, pass unnoticed. The Grand Egyptian Museum was illuminated in blue to support community and humanitarian initiatives and raise awareness about the issues faced by people with disabilities. The Egyptian state places great importance on supporting and integrating people with disabilities in various fields. 

The Minister of Tourism and Antiquities stated that the Grand Egyptian Museum's participation in this event reflects the social and cultural role of archaeological and tourism institutions in Egypt. To discover this museum, you can join Cairo Day Tours and enjoy a trusted guide on our trip. We specifically offer a tour to the Grand Egyptian Museum, Old Coptic and Islamic Cairo, to enjoy its most famous attractions. For an ultra-luxurious travel experience, we offer Luxury Egypt Travel Packages, a range of trips designed to provide the ultimate in luxury.

He continued by saying that the museum has taken a number of steps to save electricity, such as lowering lighting levels by up to 60% on average, in order to balance conservation with preserving the caliber of the museum's exhibits. Commercial sector operations have also been controlled, and the area closes after visitation hours. 

Additionally, air conditioning systems have been modified to guarantee that they do not adversely affect either the environment required for artifact preservation or the visiting experience. The CEO of the museum pointed out that the use of renewable energy sources is also growing, emphasizing initiatives to increase the use of solar cells for power generation, which will help cut energy consumption by as much as 50%.
