The Grand Egyptian Museum Authority announced new official opening hours for its main galleries and other trial-operation areas from February 1, implementing a decision by its board while trial operation continues.
Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Ghoneim said the hours apply throughout the year:
Daily: 09:00–18:00.
During Ramadan: 09:00–16:00.
Extended evening visits on Saturdays and Wednesdays: 09:00–21:00.
The museum will also begin implementing the ticket exemptions and discounts approved at the board’s latest meeting.
The decisions were discussed and approved at a recent board meeting chaired by Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathy, the first since Ghoneim’s appointment as the museum authority’s first chief executive.
