Mohamed Mansour spoke at a press conference with the project’s private sector partners and Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly at GEM. He noted that Europe is currently abuzz with news of the museum’s opening, adding that he recently returned from Europe where everyone was talking about GEM. He said this attention will benefit tourism, particularly through increased foreign currency inflows.
Mohamed Mansour predicted that GEM will attract more
tourists than the announced five million visitors.
He also expressed his admiration for Egypt’s progress in road infrastructure, saying, “I served as Transport Minister and now I hardly recognize the roads. The amount of new roads is tremendous, and all of this has a significant impact on tourism and the country’s economy.”
