Prez Mahama Arrives in Cairo for Grand Egyptian Museum Inauguration
President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Cairo, Egypt, ahead of the official inauguration ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum scheduled for Saturday. The President arrived accompanied by a delegation including the Executive Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations, Stan Xoese Dogbe. The visit underscores Ghana’s engagement in significant international cultural events and high-level diplomacy.
The grand opening ceremony will be held under the patronage of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and is expected to draw a distinguished assembly of world leaders, monarchs, and other high-ranking dignitaries from across the globe. The Grand Egyptian Museum is set to become the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization, overlooking the iconic Giza Pyramids and celebrating over 5,000 years of Egyptian history.
President Mahama’s attendance at the event follows years of anticipation for the museum’s completion, which has been described as a crowning jewel of Egypt’s efforts to showcase its immense cultural heritage. The ceremony marks a major milestone for the project, which houses extensive collections, including the complete treasures of Pharaoh Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time.
