Egypt has officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world’s largest museum dedicated to ancient civilisation, near the iconic Giza Pyramids and Sphinx. Spanning over 500,000 square feet, GEM showcases King Tutankhamun’s complete treasure collection, many displayed for the first time. Built at a cost of $1 billion, the long-delayed project aims to double Egypt’s tourism by 2030. Despite controversies and setbacks, leaders, including President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and foreign dignitaries, attended the grand opening. With immersive virtual reality exhibits and state-of-the-art design, the museum marks a new era for Egypt’s cultural tourism.
