Within the framework of strengthening international relations and highlighting Egypt’s tourism leadership in the region, the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and his wife, Mrs. Entisar El-Sisi,  accompanied President Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, and his wife, Mrs. Peng Liyuan, on an exceptional tour inside the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) during the Chinese leader’s business trip.
This official visit confirms the importance of this global cultural edifice as one of the most important tourist and historical destinations in the world.

 

Explore the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The official spokesman for the Presidency of the Republic of Egypt, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy, said that the tour began with warm hospitality and welcoming, followed by a detailed presentation that reviewed the most prominent Egyptian antiquities and unique collections contained in the museum.
A detailed trip guide was provided in Arabic and Chinese for the most important artifacts on display, reflecting the global passion for ancient Egyptian history.

 

From the Great Staircase to the panorama of the pyramids.

The royal visit included an inspection of the Great Staircase area, where the two presidents listened to a comprehensive explanation of the majestic statues and artifacts extending along the length of the staircase.
This stop culminated in taking memorable photos in the panorama of the Giza Pyramids, which provide a charming view that is one of the most important attractions for tourism lovers in Egypt.

 

The dazzling treasures of King Tutankhamun.

The tour ended with a visit to King Tutankhamun’s Treasures Hall, where the collectibles caught the eye, most notably the famous golden mask and the throne chair of the boy king.
 These treasures embody the precision and sophistication of Pharaonic art, which still represents an indispensable icon in any Egyptian tourism program.
During the tour, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his deep admiration for Egyptian civilization and its prominent contributions to the development of humanity, praising the Grand Egyptian Museum as a global cultural and tourism monument befitting the greatness of Egypt’s history.
