Sir Magdi Yacoub Among First Guests at Grand Egyptian Museum Opening

<p><strong>By: Yomna Walid&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>In just a few hours, the world will witness one of the most anticipated cultural events of the century, as all eyes turn to Egypt for the grand opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).</p>
<p>Behind this architectural marvel stand the devoted Egyptian engineers and workers who spent more than a decade bringing it to life. Their dedication and craftsmanship have created a landmark that stands as a lasting symbol of Egyptian excellence; a museum built entirely by Egyptian hands.</p>
<p>Among them is Fares Kamal, an HR Supervisor who worked on the project for nearly ten years. One of his videos from the site recently went viral, amassing over 1 million views, as he proudly shared moments with his colleagues. <strong>Speaking to NileFM, Kamal takes us behind the scenes of how this monumental project came to be.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/VcMTCdzj"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Zpcxg3FL/PHOTO-2025-10-31-20-04-52.jpg" alt="PHOTO-2025-10-31-20-04-52" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo; I worked as a HR supervisor on the Grand Egyptian Museum project. The management nominated me to join the team, and I was eager to take part, especially since the site overlooked the Pyramids.</p>
<p>My journey with the museum began in April 2012 and continued for nearly 13 years. I always felt immense pride, particularly because my office had a view of the Pyramids. It was truly an honor for all of us.</p>
<p>Honestly, I didn&rsquo;t expect my videos to go viral; one of them reached over 1 million views, but I&rsquo;ve always enjoyed capturing moments with the workers and my colleagues. One of the most remarkable aspects of this project is its location, where ancient civilization meets modern architecture.</p>

<p>Sometimes, I&rsquo;d even call the workers by the names of our ancestor, like Ramses or Tutankhamun, as a fun reminder of our great heritage.</p>
<p>It was truly an honour to have worked on such a monumental project. Every engineer and worker gave their best. No one held back; our only goal was to ensure the museum would open in the finest possible way.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As for the grand opening tomorrow, I feel as if the spirits of the Pharaohs will rise to celebrate with us. I&rsquo;ve always loved the Pharaonic attire, and I believe everyone will be amazed and proud of what they see tomorrow. It will be one of the most significant events in Egypt&rsquo;s modern history.&rdquo;</p>
