Hossam Badrawi with groups of young Arab and international universities participating in the “Cairo International Forum for University Theater” by visiting the Egyptian Folklore Museum

Dr. Hossam Badrawi with groups of young Arab and international universities participating in the “Cairo International Forum for University Theater” visited the Egyptian Folklore Museum on Friday, October 28, before the start of the closing ceremony of the forum at the Academy of Arts Theater.
Dr. accompanied Hossam youth universities d. Mostafa Gad, Dean of the Institute of Folklore and President of the Museum.
The museum was built three years ago and includes representative images of all kinds of folklore, with wonderful statues, and impressive collections for each heritage.
This is a display of the marine environment with their boats and fishermen in their distinctive clothes
And another for the Bedouin environment, and a third for the municipal coffee with the formula of its pioneers, and another for the load ceremonies for the covering of the Holy Kaaba. It is also a representation of the journey of the Holy Family and the celebration of the Egyptians, Muslims and Christians, and the feast of the Virgin Mary.
I was fascinated by the representation of the Nubian environment, Ramadan celebrations, kunafa makers, and mesaharati with details of clothes and tools from northern to upper Egypt.
Standing in front of every representation of an environment that makes you live in it and feel the fragrance of its culture.
A great museum in which you learn that Egypt is the mother of the world with its multiplicity of heritage and the beauty of its people
Who creates a creative model in which you marvel at the multiplicity of folklore and the unity of the nation at the same time.
Look at the different pictures and environments, for here lies the beauty of pluralism, the diversity of clothing and customs and the greatness of the country’s unity at the same time.
Egypt is unparalleled guys, and I invite every family to visit this museum and salute Dr. Mostafa Gad for his effort to complete the museum’s techniques and introduce digital in display and work in acoustics that must be consistent with the exhibit and develop digital means that allow the visitor to know the origin and beauty of each heritage.
The Egyptian folklore, from the village to the nomads to the city, to the kind of popular celebrations from Nubia to the desert and oases, all of Egypt

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
