Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting this evening to review scenarios for the Grand Egyptian Museum’s opening celebration. Attendees included Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathy, museum Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Ghoneim, engineering supervisor Major General Atef Moftah, Egyptian Tourism Authority Chief Executive Officer Amr El-Kady, and United Media Services executives Tarek Nour, Tarek Makhlouf and Mohamed El-Saadi.
Madbouly said preparations aim for the highest international standard for the globally anticipated opening. The celebration should reflect Egypt’s recent progress and promote its diverse tourism destinations. Calling it “Egypt’s gift to the whole world,” he said it would extend over several days with important events.
Fathy said several scenarios had been developed with United Media Services for selection, with consecutive-day events promoting the museum, tourism and Egypt more broadly.
Company representatives presented the proposals, intended messages and activities planned across the celebration days.
The prime minister and attendees offered observations and ideas for inclusion before the proposals are presented to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, according to the Egyptian Cabinet’s official Facebook page.
