Abstract

Egypt was one of the first Arab countries to issue post stamps in 1866. It is also one of the first countries in the Middle East to establish a post museum in 1934 that includes a large set of rare collections of Egyptian post history; the most prominent of which is a hand-drawn plate of post stamps that embody the view of the pyramids and Sphinx for which the artist used 15 thousand stamps. Therefore, postal services have become the features of the era in which we live, and the more this service advances, the more the society as a whole develops, as the post is the focus of communications and meetings among all countries of the world. This would be achieved through the postal services provided by governments, which include letters, express mail, publications, samples and parcels. This is in addition to postal transfers to government departments and individuals; this article discusses a long history of postal services with its features along modern Egyptian history, the most important point that Egypt possesses a postal museum in Cairo regarded as a witness for this long history
