Was disappoibted to not see a single mummie in the exhibition. We have visited the Tahrir exhibition previously. On the positive side this museum is indeed " grand", spacey, modern and very informative. The 4 streams principle works well provided that all galleries are fully open. With Toetsnchamon's mummie ( and others) brought in in November, it would be an accomplished museum.

Arranged tickets and transfers (hotel to GEM and return) via Headout. The process was seemless and simple. Spent a few hours wandering the GEM at our own pace. Messaged the driver 30 minutes before return pick up. Enjoyed a coffee whilst we waited.Arianna

Fast-track your way into the land of the pharaohs
Skip the long lines and directly step into the Grand Egyptian Museum, where ancient Egypt comes to life. See the only Hanging Obelisk in the world, reaching for the sky. Wander through the Grand Hall, where towering statues stand like ancient gods, then head to the Grand Staircase Gallery to see over 60 stunning artifacts. From prehistoric tools to Roman-era treasures, every exhibit tells the story of Egypt’s glorious past.

Explore 12 brand-new galleries that each bring a unique piece of Egypt’s story to life. Galleries 1-3 take you to the prehistoric period with hunting tools and vivid wall paintings. Then, head to the Middle Kingdom in Galleries 4-6, where statues of divine figures like Osiris, the god of death, will greet you. Galleries 7-9 offer a glimpse into the New Kingdom’s splendor (though the treasures of King Tut are still under wraps). Galleries 10-12 guide you through the Graeco-Roman Period, Late Period, and Third Intermediate Period, with artifacts that span from 1069 BCE to 394 AD. Ready for a challenge? The GEM Discovery Challenge lets you solve puzzles and unlock hidden treasures for a souvenir keepsake.
