In light of current regional developments, the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which was originally scheduled for July 3rd, has been postponed.
A new date for the museum’s official inauguration will be set during the fourth quarter of this year, and will be announced at the appropriate time. This decision will be made in coordination with all relevant authorities to ensure the event reflects Egypt’s standing as a leading cultural and tourist destination on the international stage.
This decision also stems from the Egyptian state’s national responsibility and its commitment to hosting a truly exceptional global event in an atmosphere befitting the magnificence and unique heritage of Egyptian civilisation, and to ensure broad international participation that reflects the significance of the occasion.
In the meantime, the Grand Egyptian Museum will continue to receive visitors as part of its trial opening until the new date for the official inauguration is announced later this year.
