Commemorating Prince Kamal el Din’s expedition to Gilf Kebir
In the Footsteps of the Prince
14 MARCH TO 26 MARCH 2014
 

This is a historic event taking place from the 14th to 26th of March 2014, under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism.


The expedition's aim is to commemorate the anniversary of the memorial plaque of Prince Kamal El Din Hussein who discovered the Gilf Kebir Plateau in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1925. The Prince was also the first to introduce theautomobile into deep desert explorations, in that part of the world.


In the Hollywood film "The English Patient" (winner of nine Oscars in1996), the main character was transporting Prince Kamal El Din's plaque to the Gilf Kebir Plateau in 1933. So now we will be following the footsteps of those great explorers. Well-known national and international scientists will take part (as SPEAKERS) in this expedition and will present intriguing lectures on relevant topics. The expedition will be organised by our TEAM.
