The French President, Emmanuel Macron, visited the Grand Egyptian Museum and toured the streets of Old Cairo. Macron is currently on a three-day official visit to Egypt.
On Sunday, Macron visited the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, where he toured the sections accessible to the public before the museum’s official inauguration on July 3, 2025.
Photos and video footages showed Macron and the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, walking through the streets of the famous Al-Hussien Square, where the iconic Al-Hussein Mosque and Shrine lie, and Khan Al-Khalili district, an ancient historic market in Cairo.
Both leaders also had dinner at the Naguib Mahfouz restaurant, one of the district’s renowned traditional restaurants.
After the tour, the French President thanked Al-Sisi and the Egyptian people for their warm welcome and hospitality, praising the friendship between France and Egypt.
