Grand Egyptian Museum Launches Trial Run

The long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo has officially opened its doors for a trial run, allowing approximately 4,000 visitors to explore some of its main galleries. Despite the excitement surrounding the museum, the Tutankhamun Gallery remains closed for the time being. This ambitious $1 billion project, which has faced numerous delays over the years, marks a significant milestone in promoting Egyptian tourism and showcasing the country’s rich ancient heritage. While the trial operation has begun, the full opening of the museum is highly anticipated following this initial phase.
