A designer named, Alaa Ahmed El-Sheishtawy made a dress with the motifs from Egyptian pharaohs. This had QR code that helped tourists to learn historic information about Egypt. They learnt a lot about museums, mosques and the pyramids of Egypt. The tourists got information about the artefacts at each place. They did not need a guide to talk about anything in Egypt. This designer wanted to create more of this for men and children. Considering how tourism plays an essential role in Egypt’s economy, El-Sheishtawy’s latest innovation will certainly attract customers. Egypt attracts tourists all over the world, mainly to the capital city of Cairo where the pyramids are situated. There are several museums in the city that displays the mummies discovered in the region.
