The Egyptian Museum located at El-Tahrir square in the heart of Cairo began, on Sunday, will start using new audio tour guide devices in cooperation with one of the specialized companies in this field.
Sabah Abdel-Razak, director-general of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, explained that the new audio guidance system will be used by tour guides and accompanying tourist groups in order to maintain calm inside the museum and eliminate noise and overlapping voices of the tour guides.
This system is based on the use of German Sennheiser devices. These devices have higher sound quality and safer for environment and humans, as every ear pads of each device will be sterilized before giving it to the visitors.
The Ministry of Antiquities will apply this new system at all museums of the Republic.

Noteworthy, the Museum is a home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public, according to Wikipedia.
The Museum of Antiquities contains many important pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. The Egyptian government established the museum built in 1835 near the Ezbekeyah Garden and later moved to the Cairo Citadel. In 1855, Archduke Maximilian of Austria was given all of the artifacts by the Egyptian government; these are now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
