The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) received Massad Boulos, Senior Adviser to US President Donald Trump on Arab, Middle Eastern, and African Affairs, as part of his first official visit to Egypt.
Ahmed Ghoneim, CEO of the GEM Authority, welcomed Boulos and the accompanying delegation, guiding them on a tour of the museum. The visit included the Grand Hall, the main atrium, the great staircase, and the main exhibition galleries, which collectively present a comprehensive narrative of ancient Egyptian history, spanning from pre-dynastic times through the Greek and Roman eras.
At the conclusion of his tour, Boulos expressed his deep admiration for the museum and its state-of-the-art display methods.
He emphasised that the GEM stands as a world-class cultural edifice, showcasing Egypt’s enduring civilisation and presenting it in line with the highest international museum standards, a statement by the Tourism and Antiquities Ministry said.
This visit underscores the shared commitment to strengthening cultural and historical relations between Egypt and the US, while highlighting the vital role of cultural heritage in fostering dialogue and mutual understanding among nations.
