Grand Egyptian Museum Update

In light of recent regional developments, and in alignment with ongoing strategic considerations, the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum — initially scheduled for July 3rd, 2025 — has now been postponed to the last quarter of the year. This adjustment reflects the Egyptian authorities’ continued commitment to unveiling this monumental cultural landmark at the highest possible standard.

In the meantime, Akorn Egypt will continue to offer guests access to soft-opening visits of the Grand Egyptian Museum, as previously conducted. These curated visits allow travelers the opportunity to experience key galleries and exhibitions ahead of the museum’s official grand opening. Please note that the soft-opening phase does not yet include the much-anticipated King Tutankhamun galleries and treasures, which will be unveiled during the official inauguration later this year.

Akorn remains fully operational across Egypt, delivering exceptional experiences with the safety, comfort, and enrichment that define our legacy. The destination continues to operate smoothly, with all historical sites, luxury hotels, Nile cruises, tours, and activities running as scheduled across the entire country. We continue to welcome guests with the same care and precision that have made Akorn the trusted choice for luxury travel across the region.

We look forward to the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum later this year, which promises to be a global celebration of Egypt’s heritage — one well worth the wait.
