Located Near the Famous Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum Is a Monumental Work That Took 21 Years to Complete. This Impressive Museum Was Created to House Over 100,000 Artifacts, Including Some of the Most Important Mummies in the History of Egypt.

The construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum began in 2002, when former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak laid the project’s foundation stone. The idea was to create a museum that was as majestic as Egypt’s rich ancient history. The chosen location is just 2 km from the Giza Pyramids complex, offering a spectacular view. The new largest museum in the world has a unique design, inspired by an architecture competition that received thousands of submissions from around the world.

The winning design was created by architects from Ireland, and the construction was partly funded by a $300 million loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, in addition to resources from the Egyptian government and international donations.

The Grand Egyptian Museum Covers an Area of 81,000 Square Meters.

The museum features advanced technologies such as virtual reality, and an international communication center for museums to promote direct contact with other institutions.
