From its side, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has set up some precautions to guarantee the Mummies safety during transportation.

A report had been made for each mummy, declaring its condition and mentioning the mummy's history and if it had been restored before or not.

Also, Dr. Zahi Hawas had examined all these mummies through a CT scan and a DNA test to give a final accurate report about their conditions and confirm their identity.

Many measures will be taken to keep a moderate temperature inside each mummy box during the transport.

Anti-vibration materials will also be put to keep the mummies safe until they reach their final destination at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

The transportation process will be responsible for a company affiliated with the armed forces; the vehicle should not exceed a certain speed of 30 Km/H.

This festival is meant to take you back in time, to simulate the royal parade, which was used to be held to honor the Kings.

"Don't miss this unrivaled, once-in-a-lifetime event. Stay tuned for The Pharoahs' Golden Parade on the 3rd of April 2021," the ministry said in its promo video for the awaiting event.
