The Grand Egyptian Museum, located in Cairo, has announced it will temporarily close to visitors on September 2nd. The museum's CEO, Ahmed Ghoneim, confirmed the closure in an exclusive interview with Al-Masry Al-Youm. Ghoneim stated that further details regarding the closure will be revealed later. The decision was communicated to tourism companies by the Egyptian Travel Agents Associations (ETAA).
The closure is set for a single day and does not imply an indefinite closure or a general suspension of visits. The ETAA has instructed tourism companies to factor in the closure time when organizing tour programs and bookings, and to inform tourists of the specific time in advance. This move aims to manage visitor traffic at the GEM while respecting the commitments of tourism companies to the designated closing time.
