As part of the final preparations underway for the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, scheduled for the coming November 1, the museum will be temporarily closed from October 15 to November 4, 2025.
Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, CEO of the Grand Egyptian Museum Authority, explained that during this period the museum will carry out a number of organizational and logistical works in preparation for the official opening ceremony, noting that the museum will resume receiving visitors from November 4 during official working hours, a date that coincides with the 103rd anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of the golden king Tutankhamun, so that visitors can enjoy the museum's full tourist experience.
It is worth noting that the Grand Egyptian Museum has been running a trial operation of a number of its areas since last October 16, and since last February the museum authority has applied new official opening hours for these areas, with the museum receiving visitors in summer and winter every day of the week from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in addition to evening opening on Saturdays and Wednesdays every week until 9:00 p.m.
