visitors in the first half of this year, according to data from the
Department of Antiquities (DoA).
The theater has opened two museums to showcase and promote
the country’s rich cultural heritage. The "
Museum of Popular Life,"
located in the western cellar of the theater, and the "Folk Museum of
Jewelry and Clothing," situated in the eastern cellar.
Balawi emphasized the significance of improving these
museums to meet international standards and stimulate tourism in

began restoration work on the theater in 1957, transforming it into a popular
venue for entertainment and a variety of events. It now has a seating capacity
of 6,000, features audience seats, a semi-circular orchestra, a stage,
entrances for the public, and changing rooms.
