An Educational Visit to the Greco-Roman Museum

As part of its commitment to enhancing students’ practical knowledge and bridging the gap between theoretical learning and field experience, PUA’s Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management organized an educational visit to the Greco-Roman Museum. This initiative is part of the faculty’s student activities aimed at fostering archaeological and cultural awareness, while introducing students to the history of ancient civilizations and their impact on cultural tourism in Egypt.
The visit aimed to achieve several educational and cultural objectives, primarily familiarizing students with the history of Greco-Roman civilization and showcasing rare archaeological artifacts that illustrate the cultural interactions between Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Additionally, it sought to develop students’ analytical skills in assessing the tourism value of archaeological sites and museums, reinforcing the link between academic knowledge and real-world tourism practices.
Accompanied by a specialized tour guide, students embarked on a comprehensive tour of the museum, gaining insights into its historical significance and key exhibits. The visit covered the museum’s various sections, including Statuary, Stone Inscriptions, Jewelry, and Ancient Coins. Students showed particular interest in artifacts highlighting the Greek influence on Egyptian art and actively engaged in discussions with the guide about the role of museums in promoting cultural tourism.
This visit underscores the Faculty’s dedication to providing a holistic educational experience that integrates academic learning with hands-on exposure. By equipping students with practical insights and industry-relevant knowledge, the faculty aims to better prepare them for careers in the tourism sector while deepening their appreciation for cultural heritage and its significance in advancing Egyptian tourism.
