Preparations are underway to ensure the event reflects the scale and significance of this historic moment,

A vast $1bn museum billed as the world's largest archaeological facility dedicated to a single civilisation will open outside Cairo on Saturday, after countless delays over the course of its two-decade construction. The Grand Egyptian Museum, located a mile away from the pyramids of Giza, covers an area of 470,000 sq metres. The complex was announced in 1992 but it was not until 2005 that construction began.

Debuting at Cairo Food Week 2025, the King's Feast immerses guests in a multi-sensory installation that transcends the act of dining. Titled the King's Feast: Between Two Banks, the event uses gastronomy, design, light, and scent to weave a captivating story of ancient Egyptian cosmology and the Nile's enduring life force. Alchemy Experience curates this transformative dining landscape, inviting guests to not just eat, but to experience a living narrative rooted in history and reimagined for the future.

In light of the current regional developments, it has been decided to postpone the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, announced by the tourism and antiquities ministry.
