Egypt is poised to unveil its monumental cultural achievement, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), with a grand opening ceremony on November 1, 2025. This event, attended by global dignitaries, will precede the museum’s public debut on November 4. Situated on the Giza Plateau, just two kilometers from the Great Pyramids, GEM spans over 500,000 square meters and houses more than 100,000 artifacts, offering an unparalleled journey through Ancient Egypt’s history from prehistoric times to the Roman era. The museum, dubbed the largest dedicated to a single civilization, features 12 exhibition galleries, including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, King Khufu’s Solar Boats, and a 20-meter-high hanging obelisk. Visitors will be greeted by an 11-meter-tall statue of King Ramses II and can explore the Grand Staircase adorned with statues of ancient kings, providing breathtaking views of the Pyramids. GEM’s opening is expected to revitalize Egypt’s tourism sector, which has faced challenges in recent years. Practical details for visitors include accessible transportation options, varied ticket prices, and guided tours in Arabic and English. The museum’s complex also offers dining options, and photography is permitted for personal use. With its rich exhibits and strategic location, GEM is set to become a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts worldwide.
