Spanning 500,000 square metres, the museum houses over 50,000 artifacts, including the entire collection of treasures from King Tutankhamun's tomb, displayed together for the first time since their discovery in 1922. The opening ceremony featured fireworks and a drone light show, with dignitaries from around the globe in attendance. The museum, designed with immersive exhibits and modern technology, aims to boost tourism and revive the country's economy after years of unrest and delays.
