The Grand Egyptian Museum has commenced a trial run, partially opening its main galleries, which include 12 halls showcasing various aspects of ancient Egyptian history.
This mega-project, situated near the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, has incurred costs of over $1 bn and is designed by Dublin architect Róisín Heneghan.
During the trial period, the museum will allow 4,000 visitors to explore the new exhibitions, with an official opening date yet to be determined.
The museum is strategically located at the edge of the first desert plateau, featuring a 50-meter elevation difference shaped by the Nile’s geological influence over 3,000 years.
