I have been delaying my next visit to Cairo now for some time as I want to include the GEM. It really does look like it will be worth the wait as what you shared of the approach areas just look fantastic and also the items they are showing there look impressive. However I fear many people will be doing the same and once it goes live it will be hard to get tickets, Flights into the new airport and Hotels nearby for some time.

There are so many things to see in Egypt that we decided to book a trip in January next year. We are booked into an hotel not far from the GEM and o we will visit and see whatever is available at the time. We are also interested in Architecture and so the building alone is well worth the visit to us. If by chance it's open then we will be super lucky. Either way we'll thoroughly enjoy our visit. Thanks for the update it's really useful having someone on the ground watching developments no matter how small. Keep up the good work. Best regards from Philip and Luc

I think delays in GEM opening are also related to other complementary projects serving the area -the pedestrian bridge connecting GEM to the Pyramids Plateau directly is now under construction -also there are a lot of talks about connecting the two sites by Teleferic "cable car" but still no actual work has started yet on this project -metro's 4th line will have 2 stations serving the Pyramids & GEM, its 1st phase construction schedule is being squeezed to be ready near the time of GEM opening - Sphinx airport is a small airport built mainly to serve the tourist charter trips to the museum & pyramids already opened & started receiving international flights awhile ago -some works also are being done to upgrade roads around & leading to the museum area

Yes, there are lots of projects going on. However, they’ve stated “opening dates” multiple times, with nothing ever happening, so hopefully the next time there is an announced opening date, they follow through. We’re all excited to see the full museum!

@EgyptAdventuresTravel2 ай бұрын
For Cairo I recommend a minimum of two days (check out my short for a two day itinerary). If you’re doing two days, I recommend at this point skipping the GEM and just doing the old museum. The old museum has thousands of artifacts and will keep almost all of them. When the GEM fully opens though, for sure you have to see the GEM over the old museum. Have a great trip!

There is a disquieting/'bizzazz' (?) aspect to the design of GEM as the NEW showcase for Egypt's antiquities.

I have NO INTENTION of returning to Cairo to see it.

The design of the museum is ugly to me, the interior is impressive for the size of the space not for the architecture, it looks like a shopping mall and the facade reflects a lack of imagination by only placing pyramid patterns, as if that represented the whole culture. Having so many Egyptian architectural styles, they could have reinterpreted and given it an identity.
