Abstract

This study aims to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the accessibility of the Grand Egyptian Museum from various locations in Greater Cairo. The Grand Egyptian Museum is one of Egypt’s major cultural projects, designed to attract both local and international visitors. Through this study, the researcher seeks to identify the factors influencing accessibility to the museum, such as the road network, public transportation options, and traffic density, using spatial analysis techniques provided by GIS.
Geographic data related to roads, transportation networks, and population distribution in Greater Cairo were collected. The researcher used software such as ArcGIS pro to analyze the data and create models showing how to reach the museum using highways and public transport, such as the metro and buses. These models calculated travel times and assessed the impact of various factors on the ease of access from residential and tourist areas to the museum, with a focus on peak hours and traffic congestion.
The research results revealed that some areas have high accessibility to the museum due to good road infrastructure and the proximity of public transport stations. Conversely, some areas faced difficulties with access due to long distances or a lack of direct public transportation options. The study recommended improvements to the public transportation network, the expansion of highways, and increased efficiency of public transport schedules during peak hours. These measures would enhance the visitor experience and contribute to faster, more comfortable access to the museum.
