Under the patronage of Prof. Cherif Youssef Khater, President of Mansoura University, and the leadership of Prof. Tarek Ghalwash, Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research and Supervisor of the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector, the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels implemented an event as part of the “Kemet Tourism Awareness” initiative at the Faculty of Computers and Information.

The event was led by Prof. Mohamed Ahmed Abdel Latif, Dean of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, and Prof. Noha Heikal, Dean of the Faculty of Computers and Information, under the supervision of Prof. Mohamed Abdel Fattah Zahry, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels for Community Service and Environmental Development, and coordinated by Prof. Iman El-Didamony, Vice Dean of the Faculty for Community Service and Environmental Development. A large number of students from the Faculty participated.

 The event began with a speech by Prof. Iman El-Didamony, who welcomed the attendees and emphasized the importance of the initiative in spreading tourism awareness among students and introducing them to the cultural and tourist attractions that Egypt possesses.

 Prof. Mohamed Abdel Fattah Zahry discussed the significance of naming the initiative "Kemet" and its objectives in promoting Egyptian civilization and developing tourism awareness, particularly in conjunction with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum. This aims to strengthen young people's connection to their cultural heritage and reinforce their understanding of the importance of preserving it.

 Dr. Arwa Ahmed, a lecturer in the Department of Tourism Studies at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, addressed the concept of tourism, its classifications and types, Egypt's position on the global tourism map, and the importance of developing tourism awareness among young people. She also discussed the Grand Egyptian Museum and its historical and cultural value, in addition to explaining how to interact with tourists and the importance of preserving Egyptian antiquities.

 This event is part of the "Kemet Tourism Awareness" initiative, launched by the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels during the last academic year. The initiative encompassed ten faculties within the university, aiming to disseminate tourism culture among students, introduce them to Egypt's tourist and cultural assets, and solidify their awareness of the importance of preserving and promoting Egyptian heritage.
