Saturday, November 1st Declared Official Holiday for Grand Egyptian Museum Opening
The Egyptian Cabinet has announced that Saturday, November 1, 2025, will be an official paid holiday for employees in ministries, government agencies, public bodies, local administrations, and companies in the public and business sectors.
The decision, issued by Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, comes under the directives of the President to facilitate preparations for the official opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum — an event expected to attract world leaders, royals, and international delegations from across the globe..
The government clarified that the holiday aims to ease movement across Greater Cairo and ensure smooth coordination for all participating entities during this historic celebration.
However, the November 1st opening is exclusive to official guests, while the public opening is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
