The Grand Egyptian Museum opened the Grand Staircase to the public! See over 50 statues and ancient pieces from the GEM’s permanent collection by traveling up four flights of stairs, with views of the Giza Pyramids from the top.

The Grand Egyptian Museum has fully opened the Great Hall, along with a few other areas! Cairo's new museum, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), is having its grand opening sometime in 2023 (still unconfirmed), on the edge of Cairo. But visitors can now buy tickets online to get inside the GEM to see the Great Hall, the Glass Court, the retail area, gardens, obelisk square, and eat at one of the many restaurants inside Egypt's largest museum.

When will the Grand Egyptian Museum Open? Cairo's new museum, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), was supposed to open in November, 2022 in Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. However, there still is no official announcement of the museum's grand opening in 2022, or even 2023. In this post, I will share what we know about when the Grand Egyptian Museum will have its opening ceremonies, whether private tours of the Grand Egyptian Museum are an option, and when I think we might learn more about the opening date for the GEM.

Since the fall of 2021, different authorities in Egypt have been announcing that the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), Cairo’s ambitious new gargantuan archaeological museum, will be opening in November of 2022. The GEM has already been delayed numerous times, and it seems like the museum is still not on track to be ready in time for the fall. Will it really open in November? Here’s what I think, based on what we know so far.

According to various news outlets, the GEM’s exterior will be completed by June 30, 2022, and the interior of the museum finished on or before September 30, 2022. This means we are one step closer to hearing the announcement of the museum’s official opening date, hopefully in November 2022!

Egypt’s Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) has the world holding its breath, awaiting the grand debut of the largest archaeological museum in the world in Giza, Greater Cairo. While the GEM is still on track to open in November, 2022, we still do not know a lot about the opening. Here’s what we know after a recent update from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities: most of the artifacts are now installed in the museum, bringing it closer to the November opening!
