As Cairo welcomes the grand opening of its newest museum this November, the city is buzzing with excitement. Travelers, expats, and culture lovers from around the world are arriving to witness this historic moment — and looking for the perfect place to stay near the Cairo Museum.

At Arabesque Apartments, we believe that your stay in Cairo should be as inspiring as the city itself. Nestled in the leafy neighborhood of Maadi, just a short drive from the new museum, Arabesque blends modern comfort with local charm, creating an experience that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to Cairo’s cultural heartbeat.

✨ The Museum Opening: A New Chapter in Cairo’s Story

The museum – formally the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) – marks one of the most anticipated cultural events in Egypt. After more than two decades in the making, it officially opens around 1 November 2025.

Here are some of the key historical details:

• The project was conceived in the early 1990s and construction began in earnest around 2005/2006.

• The museum brings together more than 100,000 artefacts from ancient Egypt, including treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun and the massive statue of Ramses II.

• Importantly, there has been a strong partnership with Japan: the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has provided both financial support (loans) and technical/heritage-preservation cooperation since around 2008.

• Japan’s contribution includes training Egyptian conservators, building a state-of-the-art conservation center, and restoring major artefacts such as the Second Solar Boat of Khufu.

• The time-span: over 20 years, with major delays due to political/tourism issues, global events, funding challenges.

This opening isn’t just a milestone for Egypt — it’s a landmark for global heritage, tourism and cultural meaning.
