The government specified electronic methods for collecting the entrance fee to any museum, archaeological, or tourist site, through payment by credit cards using electronic authorization devices.
It also included payment methods; using the internet through credit cards (Credit Cards), instant enrollment cards (Debit Cards), in addition to payment through banks or accredited financial companies.
The decision specified that the ticket is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, and it is not allowed to transfer the ticket from one person to another.
It was emphasized that it is not allowed to return or refund the ticket value or any part of its price without the approval of the Minister of Tourism, in special and justified cases and with a recommendation from the director.
The electronic ticket; is a receipt that the visitor can obtain through the electronic system, which enables them to enter any museum, archaeological, or tourist site.
