The Chamber of Travel and Tourism Companies and Agencies said in a notice to all travel companies that the management of the Grand Egyptian Museum has announced the museum will be closed to visitors on Wednesday 2 September 2026.
Neither the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities nor the museum's management has announced the reasons for the closure, but the museum's management notified companies so that tourist visits, whether in groups or individually, as well as visits by Egyptian visitors, can be coordinated for that day.
