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! 🌟

The museum itself is very beautiful, but it's huge, so it's hard to see everything in just a few hours. But in any case, it's worth it for the amount of history accumulated in one place

    The New Museum was amazing, it is the largest museum in the world beautifully laid out and fully wheelchair accessible. Ample toilet facilities, a restaurant and shops. sadly, not yet fully open (July 2025) so Tutankamun not there yet. Up side fewer visitors and plenty of tiem to look at the displays.

  • 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. After uncovering Egypt’s ancient wonders, dine like a pharaoh with an optional traditional lunch. Savor local delicacies like foul medames (slow-cooked fava beans with fragrant spices) and koshari (a hearty mix of lentils, pasta, and crispy onions). As you enjoy these time-honored flavors, reflect on the day’s discoveries before heading back, filled with stories fit for the ages.
