Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Egypt's Grand Museum opens, displaying Tutankhamun tomb in full for
first time
About a 40-minute drive from the Cairo International Airport, Giza is
an Egyptian city on the west bank of the Nile, near Cairo. It is famous for the
pyramid complex and the sphinx, attracting over 14 million visitors annually. Only
two kilometers from the pyramids, the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) officially
and fully opened to visitors on November 1. GEM is the world’s largest and
newest archaeological museum with 100,000 artefacts from seven millennia,
covering from pre-dynastic times to the Greek and Roman eras, 20,000 of which
had never been displayed in public, including King Ttankhamun's collections. GEM
is a modern tourist attraction to enjoy ancient Egypt!

like.
