Preview of the Grand Egyptian Museum: What to Expect on Opening Day

he Grand Egyptian Museum, often called GEM, is preparing to open its doors to the world, marking a historic moment for Egypt and global tourism. Located on the Giza Plateau, just a short distance from Sphinx International Airport (SPX), this remarkable project is more than a museum; it is a cultural landmark that bridges Egypt’s ancient civilization with modern innovation.

Spanning nearly half a million square meters, the Grand Egyptian Museum is one of the largest archaeological museums ever built. It houses more than 100,000 artifacts, including the complete collection of treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb, displayed together for the first time in history. Visitors will walk through galleries designed to tell Egypt’s story from prehistory through the Greco-Roman period. The building itself, with its monumental glass façade framing the Pyramids of Giza, is an architectural masterpiece that reflects both Egypt’s heritage and its future vision.

For travelers flying into Egypt to attend the museum’s grand opening, Sphinx International Airport offers unmatched convenience. Located just minutes from the site, SPX allows visitors to bypass the traffic of central Cairo and arrive directly at the heart of Egypt’s cultural hub. The airport’s modern facilities, efficient layout, and passenger-focused design make it the perfect gateway for international guests attending this long-anticipated event.

Behind the airport’s efficient operations stands OnePort Air Handling, whose services ensure a well-organized experience for both airlines and passengers. As flights increase in anticipation of the museum’s opening, OnePort will manage aircraft handling, fueling, and ramp operations to maintain punctual schedules. Their ground teams operate with precision, allowing airlines to keep up with the surge in arrivals expected around the event.

Inside the terminal, OnePort’s passenger services enhance the arrival experience even further. Through their Meet and Assist program, travelers are greeted by professional representatives who help with immigration, baggage collection, and ground transportation. For VIPs and international delegations attending the opening, OnePort’s staff provide discreet, personalized assistance that reflects Egypt’s warm hospitality and high service standards.

The collaboration between SPX and OnePort ensures that the influx of visitors drawn by the Grand Egyptian Museum will be managed with efficiency and care. Together, they form a gateway that welcomes the world to Egypt’s heritage, allowing travelers to transition easily from the runway to the foot of the pyramids.

As the museum prepares to open, anticipation continues to build across the globe. The Grand Egyptian Museum is more than a destination; it is a new chapter in how humanity experiences history. With SPX and OnePort at its side, that experience begins the moment travelers land in Egypt.
