TikTok to livestream Grand Egyptian Museum opening - Tourism
Egypt has signed an agreement with TikTok, naming the global platform the official digital partner for the opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), slated for 1 November. The partnership was signed by United Media Services (UMS)—a campaign partner of Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities—and the global video-sharing platform on Thursday. In a statement, UMS said the partnership is designed to showcase Egypt's cultural heritage to a global audience through a series of innovative digital initiatives. It added that the step underscores Egypt's growing emphasis on using digital platforms to promote cultural tourism and enhance its global profile. In addition to the live broadcast, the collaboration will include interactive experiences such as Night at the Museum, which will see international content creators explore the GEM outside official working times, guided by experts, and share their tours with millions of followers in real time. Other features include a customized GEM-themed filter, virtual gifts inspired by ancient Egyptian artefacts, and a CapCut template encouraging users to create content that presents Egypt's story in a modern, engaging format. The statement noted that the initiatives aim to blend heritage with technology, ensuring the museum's opening resonates with younger, digitally native audiences across the globe. Tarek Makhlouf, Managing Director of UMS, described the agreement as part of the company's broader effort to strengthen Egypt's cultural visibility on the world stage. Egypt was recently ranked first globally for having the 'Richest History,' according to the 2025 US News Survey. Largest Archaeological Museum The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located near the Giza Pyramids, is the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. Spanning nearly 500,000 square metres, it is designed as Egypt's flagship cultural landmark for the 21st century and a global hub for heritage, education, and tourism. The museum will showcase over 100,000 artefacts spanning from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman period. At its heart lies the complete collection of Tutankhamun's treasures—more than 5,000 items—presented together for the first time since their discovery in 1922. Visitors will also encounter monumental statues, royal mummies, and objects that illustrate Egypt's rich contributions to science, art, and daily life across the ages, all anchored by the striking 3,200-year-old colossal statue of Ramses II that dominates the museum's central atrium. The GEM is expected to welcome between 5 million visitors annually, once fully operational, reinforcing Egypt's position as a premier global cultural destination. As part of a broader development plan for the Giza Plateau, the project is complemented by upgraded infrastructure and enhanced visitor services to create a seamless cultural and tourism experience. Positioned as a "gift from Egypt to the world," the museum embodies the country's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing digital innovation and fostering international cultural diplomacy.

Joanna Calo Exits "The Perfect Couple" Season 2 As Writer
Yara Sameh Netflix is going back to the drawing board on a potential second season of hit limited series "The Perfect Couple". The giant streamer has been developing a followup installment based on another Nantucket-set book by best-selling "The Perfect Couple" author Elin Hilderbrand, the 2024 novel "Swan Song", with The Bear executive producer/co-showrunner Joanna Calo as writer/showrunner. Calo has now exited the project. There is no new writer attached yet to Swan Song, which remains in early development. In :Swan Song," a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons who throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms. Jenna Lamia was writer, executive producer and showrunner on The Perfect Couple, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and directed and executive produced by Susanne Bier. Kidman and Bier are back as executive producers on the prospective Season 2 alongside fellow The Perfect Couple EPs Gail Berman, Shawn Levy, Per Saari and Hend Baghdady. The limited series, which also starred Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jack Reynor, Michael Beach, Ishaan Khatter, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac, and Dakota Fanning, debuted September 5, 2024 and spent six weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 for English-language series, the first two at #1 with more than 20M views each. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
