Grand Egyptian Museum Tours

Tour the world's largest archaeological museum with a private Egyptologist — the complete Tutankhamun collection, the Grand Staircase, and the Pyramids of Giza right next door.

The World's Largest Museum

Grand Egyptian Museum Tours

After two decades in the making, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) on the Giza Plateau is finally open — and it is breathtaking. Spanning over 90,000 square metres beside the Pyramids, it houses more than 100,000 artifacts, including, for the first time ever, the complete treasures of Tutankhamun under one roof. A private guided tour turns this vast collection into a clear, unforgettable story.

The Complete Tutankhamun Collection

All 5,000+ objects from the boy king's tomb displayed together for the very first time, including the iconic golden mask.

The Grand Staircase

A monumental stairway lined with royal statues, climbing toward a window that frames the Pyramids of Giza.

Khufu's Solar Boat

The 4,600-year-old cedar funerary boat of Khufu, one of the oldest and best-preserved vessels in the world.

GEM + Pyramids in One Day

The museum sits beside the Giza Plateau, so a private tour easily combines the GEM with the Pyramids and Sphinx.

Visitor Guidance

Grand Egyptian Museum FAQs

Everything you need to know about visiting and touring the Grand Egyptian Museum.

1
Is the Grand Egyptian Museum open?
Yes. The Grand Egyptian Museum is now fully open to visitors, including the complete Tutankhamun galleries. We recommend a private guided tour to make the most of the enormous collection.
2
How much are tickets to the Grand Egyptian Museum?
Ticket prices vary for the main galleries, the Tutankhamun collection, and special exhibits, with discounts for students and children. Our private tours include your entrance tickets, so you do not have to queue or arrange them yourself.
3
Where is the Grand Egyptian Museum located?
The GEM is on the Giza Plateau, about two kilometres from the Pyramids of Giza and roughly 45 minutes from central Cairo — which is why it pairs so well with a Pyramids tour.
4
Does the Grand Egyptian Museum have mummies?
The GEM focuses on artifacts and the Tutankhamun collection. The royal mummies are displayed separately at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC) in Fustat, which we can add to your itinerary.
5
How long do you need at the Grand Egyptian Museum?
Allow at least 3–4 hours to see the highlights with a guide; enthusiasts can easily spend a full day. A private Egyptologist helps you prioritise the must-see galleries in the time you have.
6
Can you combine the Grand Egyptian Museum with the Pyramids?
Yes — and it is the most popular option. Because the museum sits beside the Giza Plateau, a single private day tour comfortably covers both the GEM and the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Valley Temple.
