Queen Mathilde of Belgium visits King Tutankhamun’s tomb

CAIRO: Queen Mathilde of Belgium and her daughter Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant visited King Tutankhamun’s tomb and other historical monuments in Luxor on Thursday.

They were received by Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Waziri said the royals’ visit would create “the same charming memories” as the time, 100 years ago, when Queen Elisabeth of Bavaria visited Egypt to witness the unveiling of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1923.
