This provides visitors with an unprecedented cultural and visual experience that reflects the depth and uniqueness of ancient Egyptian civilization.
He added that the museum’s design incorporates the latest technologies in display, lighting, and visual storytelling, enabling visitors to embark on an extended journey spanning thousands of years, showcasing the development of ancient Egyptian civilization across various political, religious, and artistic fields through a modern museum experience that combines knowledge with visual engagement.
He noted that the museum’s strategic location near the Giza Pyramids gives it an exceptional symbolic dimension, where Egypt’s ancient history meets the Egyptian state’s vision for the future. He affirmed that the museum will remain a living testament to the ingenuity of the Egyptian people and their continuous ability to create and inspire awe throughout the ages.
Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim concluded his remarks by emphasizing that the Grand Egyptian Museum represents Egypt’s gift to the world and a new symbol of national pride, reflecting Egypt’s cultural and tourism standing on the international stage and strengthening its presence as a global civilizational destination that brings together history and modernity.
