This selection came as a result of Cairo\u2019s distinction with its ancient history, rich and unique heritage and diverse architectural arts.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"rtl\" style=\"text-align: right;\">Dr. Sherif Farouk, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Postal Authority, said: \u201cCairo is one of the oldest and most prestigious Arab capitals, and represents a point of cultural convergence between the cultures of the world. It is also an open-air museum of world heritage.\u201d He pointed out that the selection of \u201cCairo\u201d as the Capital of Culture in the Islamic World for 2022 is a great achievement that embodies the success of the Egyptian state in preserving Egyptian heritage and promoting its value. Therefore, the National Postal Authority took the initiative to issue a commemorative postage stamp to document this important event in the history of the nation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"rtl\" style=\"text-align: right;\">Dr. Sherif Farouk added that commemorative stamps are a means of cultural communication between different countries and peoples of the world, and they document the history of nations throughout the ages. Therefore, the National Postal Authority is always keen to issue commemorative stamps on important events and occasions to immortalize and document those events.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"rtl\" style=\"text-align: right;\">It is worth noting that the stamp size (5 cm by 6 cm) is secure, multi-colored, and worth 10 pounds. It is equipped with QR code technology to create a rich interactive experience for the owners of these stamps, enabling them to acquire the necessary knowledge about this occasion in an innovative and attractive way.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"rtl\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Quoted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2022\/4\/10\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D9%8A%D8%B5%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%A7-%D8%AA%D8%B0%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%91%D9%8B%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%AA%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85\/5722944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">Seventh Day<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279249\" style=\"width: 714px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279249\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/106913-WhatsApp-Image-2022-04-10-at-10.38.42-AM-Small.jpeg\" alt=\"Cairo, Capital of Islamic Culture\" width=\"714\" height=\"595\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cairo, Capital of Islamic Culture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p dir=\"rtl\">Having explored the character of Cairo as the cultural capital of the Islamic world, you can follow similar topics on the Arab Collector website. <a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/egyptian-post-day-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">the Link<\/a> the next:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"RS8WqYC6P17pBIHQrD5ZiOa3MUEchzuyNLxet92jfvnoFsJlmG4Xbw\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"HCDwY1ElnM\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/postage-stamp-commemorating-muslim-holidays-2023\/\">Postage stamp commemorating Muslim holidays 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cA postage stamp commemorating Muslim holidays 2023\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d8%b7%d8%a7%d8%a8%d8%b9-%d8%a8%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%af-%d8%a8%d9%85%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%a8%d8%a9-%d8%a3%d8%b9%d9%8a%d8%a7%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%84%d9%85%d9%8a%d9%86-2023\/embed\/#?secret=n8kDa3IPJX#?secret=HCDwY1ElnM\" data-secret=\"HCDwY1ElnM\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"p\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"qAPYcC0ZQz\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/a-letter-entitled-the-aesthetics-of-postage-stamps-and-their-meanings\/\">A thesis entitled \u201cThe Aesthetics of Postage Stamps and Their Relationship to Political and Social Events\u201d<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cA letter entitled \u201cThe Aesthetics of Postage Stamps and Their Relationship to Political and Social Events\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d8%b1%d8%b3%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a9-%d8%a8%d8%b9%d9%86%d9%88%d8%a7%d9%86-%d8%ac%d9%85%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%8a%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%b7%d8%a7%d8%a8%d8%b9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a8%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%af-%d9%88%d8%b9%d9%84\/embed\/#?secret=s9kAccJ9vd#?secret=qAPYcC0ZQz\" data-secret=\"qAPYcC0ZQz\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"nCh1mAaeWqKG5F\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eirMslsYsu\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/egyptian-post-day-2021\/\">Egyptian Post Day 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cEgyptian Postal Day 2021\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d9%8a%d9%88%d9%85-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a8%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b5%d8%b1%d9%8a-2021\/embed\/#?secret=kqhzfDenQL#?secret=eirMslsYsu\" data-secret=\"eirMslsYsu\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A commemorative postage stamp was issued by the National Postal Authority to mark Cairo&#039;s selection as the Capital of Culture in the Islamic World for 2022.
