As part of the final preparations under way for the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, scheduled for November 1, the museum will be temporarily closed from October 15 to November 4, 2025.
During this period, the museum will carry out a number of organizational and logistical works in preparation for the official opening ceremony, and 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 a number of areas of the Grand Egyptian Museum have been in trial operation since October 16 last year, and the museum authority began applying new official opening hours for these areas last February.
The museum welcomes visitors in summer and winter, every day of the week, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with visiting hours extended into the evening on Saturdays and Wednesdays of each week until 9:00 p.m.
In a related context, it has been decided to close the King Tutankhamun hall at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir as of October 20, in order to complete the transfer of the last artifacts of the golden king to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where they will be displayed together for the first time in a single dedicated hall.
The display of the complete collection of King Tutankhamun for the first time in a single hall at the Grand Egyptian Museum is an exceptional event in the history of archaeology and museums worldwide, as visitors from Egypt and around the world will have the opportunity to see more than 5,000 artifacts in an integrated display that reflects the richness of the young king's collection.
