Ahmed is a great tour guide and his German is excellent. He has a deep knowledge of the history and his passion is inspiring. After the tour through the highlights of the GEM, we visited a a flower oil shop got some mocca or Thea offered by the shop runner. His product promotion was interesting and not at all pushy. The included meal after the promotion shop was simple but very authentic and very good. I can highly recommended the tour, the guide and the operator. All well organic on time and worth the money.

It was such an inspiring and incredibly enjoyable trip! The museum was beautiful in every way, and our guide MAHMOUD was honestly one of the best guides we’ve ever had — he answered all our questions and shared information in such an engaging way. It was an excellent experience that I’d highly recommend to everyone — and one I’d definitely love to repeat! 🌟

    One of the best experiences I've ever had. As well as the museum being incredible, the experience allowed us to avoid the queues and have the company of a guide with a PhD in Egyptology who gave us valuable information and gave us a lot of knowledge about this rich culture.

  • Step into Egypt’s grand past

    Your adventure begins with a seamless hotel pickup, taking you straight to the awe-inspiring Grand Egyptian Museum. Skip the long lines and step into the Grand Atrium, where the towering Ramses II greets you. As you explore the vast galleries, your expert multilingual guide brings history to life. See ancient farming tools, intricate wall paintings of daily life, the piercing gaze of Scribe Nefer, Ramses II’s monumental statues, and King Tutankhamun’s treasures—his golden artifacts and personal belongings revealing the young pharaoh’s world. In the “Beliefs” gallery, a striking statue of Osiris, the god of the afterlife, reflects Egypt’s deep spirituality. Then, witness the grandeur of the “Kingship” gallery, where towering statues once stood in sacred temples. Interactive exhibits add a modern touch, from pyramid evolution timelines to recreations of ancient tombs.

    Upgrades fit for the pharaohs

    Want to experience Egypt like royalty? Upgrade to a private tour for a more personalized journey, where your guide tailors insights to your interests.

As you enjoy these time-honored flavors, reflect on the day’s discoveries before heading back, filled with stories fit for the ages.
