The GEM complex is a cultural institution located on an area of approximately 500,000 square metres overlooking the Pyramids of Giza. It includes one of the largest museums in the world displaying the heritage of a single civilisation.
It will contain over 100,000 artefacts, reflecting Egypt's history from the pre-dynastic era through the Graeco-Roman periods, covering 92,000 square metres.
