In a video statement, EgSA said it recorded the museum’s entire construction process, from its start in 2002 to the present day.
The documentation includes satellite images processed by the agency’s engineering team, along with recent visual data captured by the MISR-SAT 2 satellite.
The images provide a detailed view of the museum’s final development stages and its current form.
The GEM, the world’s largest archaeological museum complex, will officially open on Saturday near the Giza Pyramids Plateau.
Covering more than 490,000 square metres, the long-awaited museum will display over 100,000 artefacts spanning 5,000 years of Egyptian civilization, including the full collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, shown together for the first time.
Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects of Ireland, the museum combines modern architecture with ancient symbolism.
Its alabaster façade, monumental staircase lined with colossal statues, and panoramic views of the pyramids reflect Egypt’s enduring blend of innovation and heritage.
Costing over $1 billion, the project was funded through Egyptian resources and international cooperation, notably with Japan’s JICA, highlighting Egypt’s continued investment in culture and tourism.
In addition to its galleries, the museum will serve as a cultural hub featuring the Middle East’s largest conservation centre, an education centre, and an arts and crafts centre for interactive learning.
It also includes public spaces with retail, dining, and landscaped gardens, making it an all-day destination for visitors.
The museum’s inauguration marks a milestone in Egypt’s vision for a new republic, placing human development and cultural awareness at the heart of national progress.
