Egypt to Accelerate Tourism Revival with Grand Egyptian Museum Opening

Egyptian officials are looking forward to the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum on Saturday as a potential catalyst for the revival of the country’s tourism industry. With setbacks from internal upheaval, pandemics, and regional conflicts lasting over a decade, the tourism sector is in dire need of a boost. The Grand Egyptian Museum, known as GEM, is expected to attract up to 7 million more visitors annually once it opens its doors this weekend. This surge in visitors could help elevate the total number of tourists to around 30 million by 2030.
