UNESCO's executive board has nominated Khaled El-Enany Ezz as its sole candidate for the next director-general. The 54-year-old Egyptian archaeologist and former minister of tourism and antiquities was praised for his 'unwavering dedication' and a two-year campaign visiting 65 countries. El-Enany, a professor of Egyptology at Helwan University, previously oversaw the construction and renovation of more than 20 museums, including the Grand Egyptian Museum. He will be the first Arab to lead the organization.
