On a vast area of cliffy land some two kilometers in the north of the Great Pyramids of Giza near the capital Cairo, hundreds of workers and engineers have been racing against time at the construction site of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) for the opening of the region's largest museum in early 2018. The total area of the grand museum, initiated in 2001, is about half a million square meters and it can accommodate 100,000 artifacts. (Xinhua/Zhao Dingzhe)
