Egypt on Saturday inaugurated the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) after two decades of construction – the world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilization – in a grand ceremony held near the Pyramids of Giza. The opening marks a cultural milestone for a nation celebrated for its ancient heritage.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi hailed the occasion as "a new chapter in the history of the present and future of this ancient nation." The event celebrated the completion of a two-decade project delayed by years of political upheaval, the pandemic and regional conflicts.
