About Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Before the display cases, the GEM puts you in front of architecture built for monumental pieces. The ticket announced through the official channel includes the Tutankhamun galleries, the main galleries, the grand hall and the staircase. The visit now goes beyond the atrium of the partial-opening phases.

The museum is in Giza, but it requires a transfer from the plateau. After the pyramids, choose a few galleries. To explore the collection at length, add another day: the size of the collection does not shrink to suit your flight home.
