“I am following with great interest the stunning preparations for the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, a global event that is already drawing the world’s attention to ancient Egypt, the cradle of civilizations and the home of history,” Al Habtoor wrote on his Facebook page.
The Founder and Chairman of Al Habtoor Group and Chairman of
Dubai National Insurance and Reinsurance (DNIR) said, “What I see today—in
terms of preparations, displays, and organization—indicates a sophisticated
vision and a conscious administration that understands the value of Egypt and
its place in the hearts of millions.”
He added that the project is one that every Arab can be
proud of, as it "tells the story of a nation that made history and continues
to amaze the world with its creativity."
“I congratulate our brothers in Egypt, both leadership and
people, on this great achievement, hoping that tomorrow’s opening will be a new
beginning that writes another chapter in an endless success story,” he
continued.
Khalaf Al Habtoor concluded by stating that Egypt "has been, and will always remain, the heartbeat of Arabism, the face of civilization, and the address of glory."
