Scheduled to open in August this year, The Grand Egyptian Museum is no doubt the next big thing after the Great Pyramids. Housing over 100,000 ancient artefacts, including more than 3,500 artefacts that belong to the famous King Tutankhamen, this museum will become the world’s largest archaeological institution. It is located between ancient Giza and modern Cairo, and is the perfect meeting ground for all Egyptologists, archaeologists and history buffs around the world.
The complex contains a library, a research centre, restoration laboratories, a children’s museum, an open air museum and a public square with shops, cafes and restaurants.
Don’t miss this museum when you visit Egypt in future.
