Cairo, Egypt – Voice of the Emirates – In a global event anticipated by millions worldwide, the Arab Republic of Egypt is preparing to officially open the Grand Egyptian Museum next Saturday, under the patronage of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
This step embodies the Egyptian state’s interest in preserving its ancient heritage and affirming its position as a beacon of human civilization.
The world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization
The Grand Egyptian Museum is the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization—ancient Egypt. Located just steps from the famous Giza Pyramids, it offers a visual and historical continuation of the glory of the ancient Egyptians.
The museum houses over 100,000 rare artifacts, including 50,000 pieces on display for the first time. These artifacts tell the story of the evolution of Egyptian people from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman period.
Tutankhamun… rises again
Among the museum’s most prominent exhibits is the display of the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun for the first time since the discovery of his tomb in 1922. The modern display experience and the use of technology present the history of Egypt in a contemporary style that combines education and visual spectacle.
The museum… a complete city of culture and knowledge
The Grand Egyptian Museum includes vast exhibition halls, world-class restoration centers, educational and cultural areas, gardens, and public spaces. This makes it a comprehensive city of art, history, and knowledge, and a world-class tourist and cultural destination.
Sisi’s vision: A civilization being rebuilt
The museum’s opening is the culmination of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s vision for building the new republic. This vision places the Egyptian people at the heart of development and restores their cultural and civilizational identity.
This mega-project reflects the political leadership’s belief that soft power and national culture are the two wings of sustainable development, alongside economic and urban achievements.
Egypt: The cradle of history and the pulse of the present
The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum is not merely about displaying timeless artifacts. It represents a message from Egypt to the world that the civilization which taught humanity its first letters continues to create and amaze, and that it is capable of combining tradition and modernity simultaneously.
