The Cabinet Media Center confirmed that the Grand Egyptian Museum will not be sold and will remain owned by the Egyptian state. It denied claims circulating on some social media pages and in hostile media that the government intended to sell the museum following the reconstitution of its Board of Trustees for three years, stressing that the claims were entirely unfounded.
The center described the reports as another attempt to create confusion by spreading rumors and falsehoods, emphasizing the state’s commitment to preserving Egypt’s antiquities and cultural heritage.
It added that work at the museum and in the surrounding area is being monitored ahead of its forthcoming opening. An official opening date will be agreed and the necessary arrangements for the historic event implemented, according to the Egyptian Cabinet’s official Facebook page.
