El-Anany began the meeting by praising the work that has been done to complete this great edifice, stressing the need to adhere to the agreed upon due dates to complete the preparations for the opening of the museum, pointing to the need to raise the efficiency of the level of tourism services in the area surrounding the museum, taking into account the civilised appearance of the area as a whole.

Atef Moftah, the General Supervisor of the GEM and the surrounding area, also reviewed the results of the completion rates of the project, where he explained that the total completion rate of work on the site reached 99%, and the structural work has been completed. The interior was finished by 99.8%. The volume of achievement in implementing electromechanical systems reached 96%, and in implementing ICT communications and insurance systems to 90%.

Regarding the development work of the area surrounding the museum, Moftah explained that the external squares and green spaces have been completed by 98%, and the volume of completion in the surrounding external roads has reached 92%, and the facade overlooking the pyramids has reached 99.8%. This is in addition to the completion of 100% of the concrete and metal hull works for the Khufu Boat Museum, and the necessary finishing works are underway for the building. He also reviewed the architectural solution to increase the parking capacity to reach more than 2,000 parking spaces, an increase from the current capacity of 1,300 vehicles. This is in addition to reviewing the stages of handing over the works of providing and operating the services of Egyptian visitors and tourists at the museum.
