Half Day Grand Egyptian Museum

Step into the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization with a private visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Home to one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological collections, the museum showcases thousands of priceless artifacts, breathtaking royal statues, and the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, you’ll uncover the stories behind these remarkable masterpieces while exploring one of the most advanced and impressive museums ever built.

Making the most of a half day

The museum is too big to see in one visit, so your guide picks the rooms that matter most. Outside the entrance stands the hanging obelisk of Ramesses II, raised on supports so that visitors can walk underneath and see the king’s name carved on its base. Inside, the Tutankhamun halls hold more than 5,000 objects from his tomb, displayed as one collection for the first time since Howard Carter found it in 1922, from gilded shrines and chariots to the king’s own sandals.

Good to know

• Hotel pickup and drop-off by private air-conditioned car, with an Egyptologist guide in your preferred language.
• Entrance fees, mineral water and lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant are included.
• The galleries are large and the walking adds up, so wear comfortable shoes.
