The long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum continues its phased opening, with a significant update for travelers:

Current Status: The museum complex is partially open, with visitors able to explore the Main Galleries, Grand Hall, Grand Staircase, and other areas, including the King Tut galleries and the Solar Boat Museum.
