Dr. Ibrahim Saber, the Governor of Cairo, inspected the final preparations to enhance the visibility of the Ring Road as part of the state's plan to highlight the aesthetic features in the area surrounding the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and the roads leading to it ahead of its inauguration.

Governor Saber stated that the executive bodies of the Cairo Governorate are intensifying efforts in preparation for the official inauguration of this significant edifice. The preparations include the installation of illuminated billboards showcasing the history of Cairo throughout the ages along the Ring Road in the eastern Nile sector, spanning 12 kilometers between the beginning of the Autostrad Road and the Nile. This work is being carried out in five sectors to the north and six sectors to the south, within the districts of Al-Basatin, Dar Al-Salam, and Old Cairo.

Saber added that enhancing the visual perception of the Ring Road was a collaborative effort between the governorate and Ain Shams University. It included painting the building facades along the road in harmonious colors, installing illuminated billboards, and adding distinctive elements such as plants, trees, lighting poles, and display screens. These features will shed light on Egyptian civilization and the governorate's logo while connecting the BRT stations and microbus stops with this unique identity in a manner befitting the global significance of the Grand Museum's opening.

Moreover, Saber emphasized the Governorate's commitment to showcasing the aesthetic features of the areas and roads leading to the Grand Egyptian Museum in a manner befitting the museum's status as the largest cultural project currently being developed in the world.
