The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has announced the launch of an upgraded version of the online platform for booking tickets to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, ensuring an easier and smoother booking experience, as part of the ministry's keenness to raise the quality of services provided to visitors to the Grand Egyptian Museum and to simplify online booking of entry tickets.
The new version relies on the latest user experience standards, reducing the number of booking steps and offering a simplified interface that enables visitors to complete the booking process quickly and efficiently.
In this context, Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, CEO of the Grand Egyptian Museum Authority, stressed that launching the upgraded platform is part of a strategic drive to unify the museum's digital identity by adopting a single official channel for booking tickets, stemming from the official website, reflecting its institutional character and strengthening users' trust.
He added that this step aims to achieve the highest levels of digital security for visitors, especially as a number of unofficial websites impersonating the museum and promoting the sale of fake tickets have been detected, stressing the importance of relying only on the official link when booking tickets and not dealing with any untrusted websites, to protect visitors' rights and ensure a safe and easy experience.
For his part, Dr. Mohamed Shaaban, Assistant Minister of Tourism and Antiquities for Digital Services, noted that repeated attempts to create fake pages on domains similar to the commercial (.com) domain prompted the shift to the official national domain (.eg), which carries government credibility, helping curb online fraud.
The upgraded booking platform is set to go live from today, via the following link:
Shaaban stressed that booking museum entry tickets will remain available through the old link (https://visit-gem.com) as a transitional phase, to be closed later once use of the new link becomes widespread, making it the only official link for booking museum entry tickets.
He explained that during this phase, redirect and cross-link features will be added to ensure the two links are connected and to make it easy for users to move smoothly to the new platform.
