5- The concept of military doctrine, its position and its sources, Major General Dr. Rafik Abu Hani

9- Egypt’s map of museums: prevalence and feasibility, Dr. Hussein Duqeil
Given the fact that Egypt is fertile with non-stop archaeological finds, successive governments have sought to establish museums to preserve and display these discoveries.
However, it seems that the main objectives of establishment of museums have not been clear to many of these governments, in light of the randomness in diversity and distribution of the museums map in Egypt, their prevalence in Cairo and governorates, and their distribution among various ministries and authorities.
Hence, comes this study on the map of museums in Egypt in terms of their prevalence and feasibility, which relies on the data of the annual bulletin of cultural statistics for 2020, issued by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) in January 2022, as well as the data of the annual bulletin of cultural statistics for 2019, also issued by CAPMAS, in March 2021.
