Inside the world's largest archeology museum - the Grand Egyptian Museum in pictures
Briefly

The Grand Egyptian Museum, near the Giza pyramid complex, is anticipated to fully open on July 3, 2025, after decades of planning and construction starting in 2005. Earlier openings allowed limited access, but the grand unveiling is expected to attract 5 million visitors annually. The museum's designs include eco-friendly features that significantly reduce energy and water consumption. Many important artifacts, notably those of Tutankhamun, are being relocated from the original museum in Cairo to the new site, ensuring visitors will experience Egypt's rich history in a modern facility.
Designers have incorporated climate-smart features into the museum, such as a reflective roof and external shading, which are expected to cut energy costs by over 60%.
