Cairo: An article by Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, the Prime Minister, to the Middle East News Agency, conveyed a message to Egypt and the world just days before the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Scheduled for November 1, the event is expected to host global leaders, influential figures, and distinguished events that underscore Egypt’s historical significance.
According to State Information Service Egypt, the article highlights the Grand Egyptian Museum as a gift to the world, symbolizing the global heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization. Coinciding with the exhibition of Pharaonic treasures in Rome on October 24, 2025, the museum’s opening is set to be a monumental event, reflecting the will of the Egyptian state and its achievements over the years.
The museum is expected to draw global attention not just for its vast collection of ancient artifacts but as a testament to Egypt’s ability to overcome obstacles and achieve significant accomplishments. The event seeks to rival past national showcases, such as the royal mummies’ procession in 2021 and the reopening of the Avenue of Sphinxes.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health Khaled Abdel Ghaffar emphasized that the museum’s inauguration is more than a cultural event, marking a national project that connects science, tourism, public health, and sustainable development. He stated that the museum would serve as a symbol of national efforts to improve infrastructure, create jobs, and boost tourism.
The Egyptian people and global heritage enthusiasts await this event with pride, as it is expected to restore Egypt’s place on the global civilizational stage. The museum aims to become a global center for knowledge and cultural interaction, contributing to Egypt’s future development.
The real challenge post-inauguration, as noted by Abdel Ghaffar, lies in sustaining the momentum to serve scientific research, economic growth, and societal development, positioning the Grand Egyptian Museum as a beacon of culture and progress.
