Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb approved on Thursday the decision to put 293 artifacts up for display at a Paris antiquities fair.
The items will be exhibited at the Arab World Institute from 7 September and 7 March, as the PM agreed to extend the exhibition for two extra months.
The Ministry of Antiquities will be responsible for supervising the transfer of the pieces to and from Egypt.
