building
The Hurghada Museum is a one-story building that covers an area of 3,000 square meters. In contrast to many other museums in Egypt, this construction in Hurghada was completely privately financed, although the profit of the Egyptian Museum in Hurghada will in future be divided between it and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiques.
However, the management and administration of the newly built Egyptian Museum in Hurghada, which costs up to 185 million Egyptian pounds (approx. 11 million euros), is left entirely to government officials under the supervision of the ministry.
