In total synchronization with the official inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) on Saturday, the Egyptian Ministry of Interior announced several traffic diversions across the greater Cairo and Giza areas.
These measures are being implemented to ensure maximum traffic fluidity, guide citizens efficiently to alternative routes, and manage the extensive motorcade movements associated with the historical event.
The ministry confirmed that necessary traffic services will be deployed to streamline movement and direct commuters to the alternative routes listed below:
