Tiktok to Livestream GEM Opening

Egypt is preparing to unveil the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)—the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization—on November 1st, and the celebration is going global. In an exciting move, Egypt has signed an exclusive partnership with TikTok as the official digital partner for the opening ceremony. The collaboration will not only live-stream the historic event to millions worldwide, but also introduce innovative experiences such as Night at the Museum, where international content creators will explore the GEM after hours alongside experts. Visitors online can engage with GEM-themed filters, virtual gifts inspired by ancient artefacts, and interactive CapCut templates that bring Egypt’s timeless story into the digital age. This initiative reflects Egypt’s growing commitment to blending heritage with innovation, reinforcing its newly earned title as the world’s top destination for “Richest History” in the 2025 US News Survey.
