Wow and wow!! What a wonderful experience at the GEM. Ticketing and access was so easy. The magnitude of the museum and the amazing Ramses 2 statue in the the Grand Hall was a great entry into the collection. The quality of the artefacts, interpretation and staff assistance was excellent. Go early to beat the crowds and if possible, have this expedience at the end of your Egyptian travels, it'll make it even more memorable.

Well I thought I was booking a hotel but it turned out to be you selling an entry to the museum. Then I bought another thinking I was getting another night accommodation. Lol I found your ticketing was true and honest unlike all hecklers. They are like blowflies. I wish they would ban them from the big sites. Otherwise I achieved my goals. Thank you.

It was magical—we loved it. Reliving the history of ancient Egypt and seeing Tutankhamun’s mask was truly exceptional. We took photos to capture these unforgettable memories.

This combo ticket includes priority entry to both the Egyptian Museum and the Grand Egyptian Museum, giving you the ultimate journey through Egypt’s past and present discoveries.

Skip the line at the Grand Egyptian Museum to explore 12 galleries and see King Tutankhamun’s treasures, including his golden chariot, jewelry, and personal belongings, all displayed together for the first time.

Then, head to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to see ancient artifacts, royal statues, and mummies — including the Royal Mummy Room (optional) for a closer look at Egypt’s legendary rulers.
