Egypt restricts flag at archaeological sites
Social media platforms circulated news about the banning of the Egyptian flag from the Saqqara archaeological area, which sparked widespread controversy. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities clarified that the ban does not target the Egyptian flag itself, but is related to regulatory rules that apply to all flags, banners, and slogans within archaeological sites, requiring prior approval from the Supreme Council of Antiquities. These measures aim to protect the heritage sites from unauthorized promotional or political use, in accordance with Article 45 of the Antiquities Protection Law, which imposes strict penalties on violators. The regulations also seek to preserve the archaeological character of the areas and prevent any encroachment.
