Egypt Now Applies Cashless Payment System For Archaeological Sites And Museums Tickets

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities published a statement outlining which ancient sites and museums now accept cashless payment for admission tickets, as well as some of the most prominent methods of payments – whether for individual tourists or tourism organizations.

In recent years the ministry has begun implementing a payment system using bank cards of all kinds to purchase tickets to visit some archaeological sites and museums.

Cash payments are suspended in full, so that dealings are done through cashless payments.

The ministry said that this comes as a continuation of its plan for a comprehensive digital transformation and aid the Egyptian state to shift towards cashless payments.
