The exhibition was visited by a total of 1,423,170 visitors during a time span of six months beginning March 23, 2019. Due to the emergency state in London due to COVID-19, the King Tutankhamun exhibition that opened on November 1, 2019 will end in May 2020. Egypt’s Cabinet approved the offer submitted by the organizer of the Tutankhamun exhibition "The Golden Pharaoh". Tutankhamun exhibition is still currently closed in London due to the negative impact of COVID-19, and abiding by the precautionary measures imposed by the British government. In light of the great success of the exhibition, the COVID-19 pandemic came to destroy Britain's hopes of achieving the record number of visits to the exhibition of Tutankhamun.
