Rather than going in 2021, we would have only had to wait four more years- that wasn't going to happen. :o

Anyway, the Egyptian Government has announced the Grand Opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is scheduled for 3 July this year!! (However, as many have said over the past several years, "Don't hold your breath!" :D:D

    Any idea if it will be a full opening or just the opening of a part of the GEM? They opened the gift shop a few years ago, if I remember correctly.

    It been reported that the Tutankhamun artifacts will be finally be displayed at the GEM prior to the grand opening. So it sounds like all the galleries may be open.

    We were just there. About 75% of the galleries were open. They are busy at the old museum packing up Tut’s things. The July 3 date looks feasible for a full opening.
