the Grand Egyptian Museum
In a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly directed all ministries and relevant bodies to complete all arrangements to ensure the full readiness of the GEM for its grand opening on the set date.
The GEM's grand opening was slated for 3 July, but the government postponed the event on 21 June after the outbreak of war between Israel and Iran.
PM Madbouly emphasized that the GEM's opening would be an exceptional international event to be added to a rich series of distinguished national events linked to modern Egyptian history.
The Grand Egyptian Museum represents a global cultural, civilizational, and touristic landmark that highlights the greatness of Egyptian heritage across its various eras and attracts visitors from all over the world.
Built on 500,000 square metres, the GEM, with its trapezoidal architectural design and distinguished external walls, offers an enormous panoramic view of the Giza Plateau.
It houses objects from ancient Egypt, spanning from prehistory to the early Roman period. Among the objects on display will be the unique treasures of the boy king Tutankhamun, some of which will see the light of day for the first time.
