«Η ανταλλαγή πληροφοριών σε τεχνικά ζητήματα αλλά και η προώθηση του διαλόγου ανάμεσα στους πολιτισμούς είναι οι πιο σημαντικοί στόχοι αυτού του φεστιβάλ, καθώς η τέχνη σε όλες τις μορφές της αποτελεί την κοινή γλώσσα που έχουν όλα τα έθνη του κόσμου».
«Το πιο ελκυστικό είναι ότι αυτό το φεστιβάλ γίνεται στο Λούξορ, ένα από τα πιο όμορφα μέρη στον κόσμο, όπου μπορείς να δεις τους αρχαιολογικούς χώρους, δίπλα στον ποταμό Νείλο»
