The Supreme Council of Antiquities is the Government Body, in Egypt,
concerned with - and responsible for - all aspects of running the Cultural
Heritage of the Country; being in charge of its welfare, management, protection,
conservation, preservation, exhibiting, documentation, research and media
presentation. The support services for these tasks are undertaken by six
Sectors; which cover all administrative, financial, legal, technical,
engineering and scientific needs. The Six SCA Sectors are: The General
Secretariat Sector, The Egyptian (Pharaonic) and Graeco-Roman Antiquities
Sector, The Coptic and Islamic Antiquities Sector, The Antiquities and Museum
Financial Support Fund Sector, The General Projects Sector and The Museums
Sector.
The highest SCA authority is the Administrative Council (Board),
which acts as a Governing Body. The President of the Council is the Minister for
Culture; who is the sole legal representative of SCA.
