Morocco's Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid arrived on Saturday to Cairo to represent King Mohammed VI at the opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Scheduled for the evening, the opening ceremony of this Museum, the largest of its kind devoted to a single civilization, will be attended by 79 official delegations, including 39 led by Kings, Princes, and Heads of State and government.
Built on an area of nearly 500,000 square meters, the Museum stands as a civilizational masterpiece, showcasing more than 100,000 artifacts and archaeological objects tracing the history of Egyptian civilization, which spanned thirty dynasties over 5,000 years.
The Museum is conceived as the natural continuation of the former Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square, introducing a new museological approach that incorporates cutting-edge technologies in lighting, visual interaction, and digital tools, offering visitors a truly immersive and scholarly experience unlike any other.
