1st Khufu Solar Ship to be transferred to Grand Egyptian Museum in June 2021

CAIRO – 30 May 2021: General Supervisor of the Grand Egyptian Museum project and the surrounding area Atef Moftah revealed the first Khufu Solar Ship, located on the southern side of the Pyramid of Cheops, will be transferred to the Grand Egyptian Museum in June 2021.

According to Moftah, the transfer process will be preceded by a rehearsal. The rehearsal will be carried out on the same loads as the boat, not on the boat itself, because it is difficult to construct another 50m long counter for rehearsal.

During the event itself, there will be two platforms for media outlets during the ship’s exit and arrival to its final destination.
