For the 103rd time (rough estimate)
Well, at least this time it’s understandable!
In light of the current regional developments, the official inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which had been scheduled for the 3rd of July, has been postponed.
A new date for the official opening will be set during the last quarter of this year, with the announcement to be made in due course. The decision will be coordinated with all relevant authorities to ensure the ceremony reflects Egypt’s stature as a leading cultural and touristic destination on the global stage.
This step comes as part of the Egyptian state’s national responsibility and its commitment to presenting an exceptional international event, one that honours the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilisation and its unparalleled heritage. The intention is to secure broad international participation befitting the significance of the occasion.
In the meantime, the Grand Egyptian Museum will continue to welcome visitors as part of its ongoing soft opening phase, until the new date for the official inauguration approaches later this year.
