+15Grand Egyptian Museum Guided Tour – Cairo
Description
Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the new home of Egypt's greatest treasures, on a private guided tour from Cairo or Giza. It is perfect for history lovers, families and first-time visitors.
We pick you up from your hotel or any address in Cairo or Giza in a private air-conditioned vehicle and drive you to the museum, just minutes from the Giza Pyramids. The tour takes about 4 hours.
GEM is known as the world's largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization. Your licensed Egyptologist guide leads you to the highlights: the colossal statue of Ramses II in the entrance hall, the Grand Staircase lined with royal statues, and galleries that tell the story of ancient Egypt.
One of the best moments is the Tutankhamun collection, where the treasures from the young king's tomb are shown together. After the guided tour, you can keep exploring the galleries at your own pace.
Choose your option: Essential includes hotel transfers, the private vehicle and the Egyptologist guide. All-Inclusive also includes the GEM entrance ticket and lunch at a local restaurant.
Good to know: wear comfortable shoes, as the museum is very large, and bring your passport or a photo ID. Photography rules can vary in some galleries. Your exact pickup time is confirmed on WhatsApp or Telegram after booking.
