Giza

6th International Symposium of the SunBoats

1 May 2026 – 7 May 2026

The 6th International Sun Boat Symposium (in May 2026) coinciding with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum has given the event added historical and artistic significance, elevating it to a landmark on the global cultural map.

This creative synergy has allowed the works of international and local visual artists to vividly reflect the grandeur of this major global event. The legacy of the ancient sun boats and the Giza Plateau converges with the monument of the 21st century (the Grand Egyptian Museum), transforming paintings and artworks into a bridge that carries the majesty of ancient Egyptian civilization into the realms of modernity and timelessness.
