ary 1979 in Cairo , Egypt , where I was welcomed by H . M . Queen Narriman , I forged strong , lasting ties with Egypt and the Egyptian people . I have enormous admiration for Egyptian women . I visit Egypt regularly , very discreetly , but with a wonderful welcome from our relatives , friends and allies .
The cultural ties between Monaco and Egypt were highlighted in July 2018 when the fantastic “ Gold of the Pharaohs ” exhibition was held . My children , Their Royal Highnesses Princess Fawzia Latifa and Prince Fakhr Eddin Farouk of Egypt , accompanied me to the opening evening , alongside His Serene Highness Albert II , Sovereign Prince of Monaco , at the Grimaldi Forum of Monaco .
