When one stands before the Grand Egyptian Museum, one feels they are standing before the beating heart of Egypt’s civilization
It is not merely a massive building housing thousands of artifacts—it is the story of a nation that has endured for thousands of years; a dream realized by the will of its people, restoring Egypt to its rightful place in the memory of the world

From the very first moment you behold its majestic façade, you sense a meeting between past and future. Its modern architectural design embraces the towering Pyramids of Giza beside it—as if history itself reaches out to the present in a scene that captures Egypt’s greatness and its timeless ability to renew itself

This opening is no ordinary event. It is a moment where patriotism meets pride, and history meets creativity—a moment that tells the world Egypt is not only presenting its antiquities, but presenting itself anew, with a modern vision that honors the past and embraces the future

The Grand Egyptian Museum is not just a government project—it is the project of a nation determined to tell its story to the world in the language of art, knowledge, and humanity

Behind this monumental achievement lie years of hard work and determination by thousands of Egyptians—engineers, archaeologists, workers, and technicians—each leaving their mark on this rare national masterpiece. With every stone and every artifact displayed, we see the true face of Egypt: its patience, creativity, and unbreakable dignity

In this museum, visitors will not only see statues of pharaohs—they will feel the spirit of the Egyptian human being since the dawn of time: a person who understood the value of life and left behind a message that civilization is not stone or gold, but thought, spirit, and will

Today, as we celebrate this achievement, we must realize that the Grand Egyptian Museum is not the end of a project, but the beginning of a new era of restored identity and renewed confidence. Tourism, here, is not merely an economy—it is the story of a nation that knows how to present itself to the world with grace, respect, and beauty

Egypt has succeeded, within this museum, in bringing together what many nations could not achieve in centuries: history and modernity, authenticity and contemporaneity, memory and vision. Every Egyptian who witnesses this achievement feels that a part of them lives there—engraved in its walls, reflected on the faces of visitors awed by the greatness of this nation

A heartfelt salute to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who believed that civilization is not a past displayed in halls, but a future built upon awareness and knowledge
And sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this monumental project—leaders, scholars, engineers, and workers—who turned a dream into a reality of which we are all proud

A salute to Egypt—who never rests upon the glory of her past, but rebuilds it anew every day
