He added that the development project would enrich the tourist experience for visitors, both Egyptians and tourists, by highlighting the city's heritage and history through the museum's distinguished archaeological collections.

During the tour, the possibility of enriching the museum's display was discussed, including creating a simulation of the Battle of Rosetta, allocating a hall for holograms, displaying important documents related to the city, using the museum's garden to develop the outdoor display, and providing a library of historical and heritage books.

Osman explained that the restoration and development project involves restoring the archaeological building, preserving its unique architectural elements, and developing a plan to enhance the museum display scenario and define its message and historical and national importance. The project aims to showcase the city's character by highlighting its Islamic history and archaeological treasures from all time periods.

In turn, Saeed Rakha, Director General of the Rosetta National Museum, highlighted the museum's role in holding cultural, heritage, and artistic workshops and events to raise awareness of the city's ancient history and involve all age groups in the community.
