“The Pyramids have a long, illustrious history of extraordinary kind that has fascinated and inspired artists from all over the world,” said Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, Founder of Art D’Égypte, “I’m thrilled to share what will be an unforgettable encounter with the union of art, history, and heritage.”

This edition of the event will be different from previous exhibitions, and will be attended by international and local artists. It is essentially, the first exhibition of its kind in 4500 years and will represent the melding of Egypt’s ancient heritage and contemporary art.

The ambitious project, will break further new ground with the simultaneous AI-DA project, the world’s first ultra-realistic AI robot. The robot’s artistic persona will be demonstrated through various paintings, performance art, and sculptures.
