As part of the celebrations for the Nile's flood festival, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization organized a cultural and artistic event entitled "The Nile... Civilization and Life," in cooperation with the Ministries of Local Development and Environment (represented by the Environmental Affairs Agency), Water Resources and Irrigation, and the Sharqia Governorate (represented by the Regional Tourism Promotion Authority), the Child Center for Civilization and Creativity, the Applied Technology Rehabilitation School, and the Central Administration for Student Activities. The event, which took place over the past two days, featured the participation of a select group of Egyptian artists and creators.

Dr. El-Tayeb Abbas, CEO of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, explained that this event aimed to highlight the historical and cultural significance of the Nile River, its pivotal role in the emergence and continuity of Egyptian civilization, and the celebrations, practices, crafts, professions, and beliefs associated with it throughout the ages.
