Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Khaled al-Anany and some other officials visit an archaeological site in Egypt's Delta governorate of Qalyoubiya, 30 km north of Cairo, capital of Egypt, on Jan. 8, 2017. During the visit to a number of archaeological sites in Qalyoubiya, Anany said the government is keen to preserve its ancient treasures that date back centuries ago. Egypt, one of the most ancient civilizations, has been working hard to protect its archaeological heritage and discover the secrets of the archaeology of Pharaohs and other ancient civilizations across the country.
