Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathy chaired on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, a meeting of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) Authority\u2019s Board of Directors at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, GEM CEO Ahmed Ghoneim reviewed the museum\u2019s key activities and events in recent months, including visits by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his wife, as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, during his official visit to Egypt earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The meeting also reviewed visitor numbers and revenues since the museum\u2019s official opening in November 2025 through the end of August. The museum received around four million visitors, with visitor numbers beginning to rise as the new tourist season gets underway.<\/p>\n

The board approved the museum authority\u2019s amended financial statements and final accounts for fiscal year 2025\/2026, and accepted a French donation of humidity-monitoring devices for the museum\u2019s galleries under the Egyptian-French archaeological cooperation project. The equipment will support preventive conservation by monitoring environmental conditions around the artifacts.<\/p>\n

The board was also briefed on memorandums of understanding being prepared with several international universities and archaeological museums to strengthen cooperation with the Grand Egyptian Museum Authority.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
