Muscat: On behalf of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, HH Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham al Said, Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, will take part in the official opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt, the day after tomorrow.
After repeated delays, Egypt has almost finalised preparations for the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), by far its most important cultural and heritage project, on 1 November.
The preparations have focused on logistics, artefact readiness, and international diplomacy, spanning all official levels.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has chaired multiple meetings to review progress, including a key meeting on October 25 with the prime minister, the minister of tourism and antiquities and the supervisor of the official opening ceremony.
These meetings come as the Egyptian government pledges to organise a ceremony that matches the importance of the event and the greatness of Egyptian civilisation.
