Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly conducted an inspection tour on Saturday at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) to follow up on its progress as it speeds towards completion. The first boat was transported from its display location in the Giza Pyramids area in August 2021. Construction work in the Khufu Boat Museum is now entirely finished, while interior finishes are 87 percent done. Eissa said, in press statements, that work is underway to finish the GEM, as well as the area surrounding the museum. The museum includes huge exhibition halls, and is distinguished by its proximity to the Giza pyramids area and the New Administrative Capital, which makes it a gateway to Egypt’s past, present and future.
