The best example of this phenomenon is a stela, now in the Grand Egyptian Museum, that shows rameses before Zutek.

The king offers gifts, and hieroglyphs address the god as the, quote, father of his fathers, a sort of divine ancestor.

ADD Properties, which is the hospitality arm of Samisard Holding, is building a Grand Hyatt on the Giza Plateau right across from the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Synthetic SalmaHOST

Yet challenges remain.
Larry ReidyHOST
Traffic congestion's legendary.
Sydney SchellingerHOST
So I'm really interested to see what they're going to be doing.
Sydney SchellingerHOST
But they are going to be adding a lot more of the Middle Egypt sites, including the medium period, the Beni Hassan tombs, and some other highlights, which of course is going to include the Grand Egyptian Museum, Abu Simbel, and you have some optional extensions in Cairo, Morocco, and Jordan.
Sydney SchellingerHOST
They do have a special offer right now for reduced airfare, special fares, and then a $25 deposit.
Sydney SchellingerHOST
So that is something that you guys can definitely take advantage of.
Mark GagnonHOST
So King Tut became a symbol of Egyptian national pride, and he still is.
Mark GagnonHOST
Today, his full collection is displayed together at the Grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids of Giza.
Mark GagnonHOST
Tut himself still lies in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and that is the only pharaoh that is still resting where he was buried.
Mark GagnonHOST
Now, what about the curse? Well, that never quite died either.
Belinda JacksonHOST
So however, general consensus is if you do need to see a Sound and Light Show anywhere in Egypt, Abu Simbel is still the best.
Kirstie BedfordHOST
And what about the Grand Egyptian Museum? Because, oh my gosh, this was in the wings for such a long time and everyone was talking about it and it was so anticipated, the opening.
Kirstie BedfordHOST
So what's happening with the Grand Egyptian Museum?
Belinda JacksonHOST
Look, staying on the food theme, because do love a good meal, it is worth noting that the museum has two new fine dining restaurants in the pipeline and they are situated so they look out over the pyramids, which are about two kilometres away as the crow flies.
Belinda JacksonHOST
And there is a walkway.
Belinda JacksonHOST
You can see it being built at the moment, but it's not open yet.
Belinda JacksonHOST
So that's what's creating this whole pyramid precinct.
Belinda JacksonHOST
So the other things that have happened inside the Grand Egyptian Museum is that the King Tutankhamun's treasures are now established, well-established inside the Grand Egyptian Museum.
