GEM Update

CAIRO - 14 November 2020: Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities announced that the Grand Egyptian Museum will be inaugurated on June,2021. But for the opening ceremony, it’s another issue. We will be inviting presidents and kings from all over the world, so I think that we have to wait to see how things will be changing in terms of COVID-19 all over the world. So it will be some date during the second half of 2021, Al-Anani said.

The display vitrines for the King Tutankhamun galleries are 100% completed and are currently undergoing testing.

90% of the artifacts for the Grand Staircase have been installed, and the control systems and surveillance cameras are also being finalized.
