Has anybody been on the Egypt & The Eternal Nile tour in the last couple of months? I am going on it next month and am wondering what is the status of the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)? I’ve read the opening has slipped once again to 2020. With the migration of objects from the Egyptian Museum to the GEM how was the quality of the exhibits in the Egyptian Museum? In July 2019 the Egyptian government suspended hot air balloon rides in Luxor out of concern for safety. Was wondering if the hot air ballon rides have restarted?

The new museum is expected to open next year. The museum in Cairo is being worked on with painting etc and still has major important works on display. It will remain open with some major pieces on display after the new museum also opens.We went in early January and the Luxor balloon rides were operational and enjoyed by tour members. This is a fantastic trip! Most tours do not sail on Lake Nasser which everyone enjoyed. We pulled up right next to Abu Simbel.
