| In all times and specifically in periods of crises and political changes and instabilities, it is crucial to raise awareness and promote the value of cultural heritage among citizens. Engaging heritage in educational programs is essential to safeguard this wealth as well as to strengthen national identity. To achieve this goal, educational programs have to engage all members of the local communities especially youth in order to create a cultural understanding of their heritage. The main aim of the research is to study the impact of introducing digital cultural heritage to the educational system in Egypt, specifically departments of tourist guiding in universities. This would consequently preserve cultural heritage and develop Egyptian educational programs.The study will analyze the current situation and investigate the problems encountered in heritage education in Egypt. It will consequently suggest the necessary solutions. | ||||
