Large Egyptian museum: opening on July 3, 2025 in Gizeh!

Gizeh, Ägypten - The Great Egyptian Museum (Gem), a monument of archaeological splendor, will finally open on July 3, after it took longer than planned for over a decade. President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi has officially confirmed the opening date, as Prime Minister Mustafa Madbuli reports. To celebrate this "big event", multi -day festivities in Egypt are planned to liven up the tourism sector. The museum, located near the impressive pyramids of Gizeh, will accommodate a collection of 100,000 artifacts and extend over an area that corresponds to around 70 soccer fields. It will be considered the largest museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization with a special highlight: the grave treasure of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which will be completely shown after the opening, reports OE24.at .

partial openings lead to anticipation

Before the official opening, 12 galleries are already accessible to visitors, which present impressive artifacts from different epochs of Egypt. From prehistoric finds to pieces of the Roman era, the new museum shows a thematic arrangement that illuminates royal rule, society and beliefs. This gentle opening enables the museum to analyze visitor flows and prepare for a complete opening. However, the Tutankhamun gallery, the heart of the museum, remains closed for the time being. This will only be accessible to the public at the official opening - the date of which still has to be determined - reports the information from museum.de .

The long breath up to this opening has its reasons: political upheavals, the covid 19 pandemic and economic challenges have repeatedly delayed the construction. Despite the complexity of this situation, the success of the ongoing work on the Gem is a ray of hope in Egypt's efforts to present its rich legacy and to capitalize on the enormous interest of tourists. Experts also attribute the delays to the current economic situation in the country, which is characterized by numerous crises. Ultimately, this is viewed not only as a cultural treasure, but also as a source of income and symbol of national pride for Egypt.
