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.

Magnificent, monumental museum in the image of the pyramids... Don't hesitate to take half a day (4 hours) to see it all. There are also several reasonably-priced restaurants. We personally chose the Zooba restaurant with its Mazzat Tray and freshly squeezed fruit juices.

Skip the line with priority entry, saving you valuable time to explore the Grand Egyptian Museum and its fascinating 12 galleries.

Upgrade to a guided tour in English or Arabic and hear stories and lesser-known facts behind iconic artifacts like Scribe Nefer’s statue, Ramses II’s monumental statues, and ancient tools.

See King Tutankhamun’s golden treasures up close — from his chariot to jewelry and everyday items that reveal the life of Egypt’s young pharaoh.

Take your visit up a notch with the GEM Discovery Challenge, where you’ll solve puzzles and uncover clues for a fun, interactive exploration with a chance to earn a souvenir.

Wander through the museum’s iconic spaces, including the Grand Hall, Hanging Obelisk, and stunning artifacts from prehistoric Egypt to the Roman Empire.

I loved how orderly the flow and set up for the museum. The galleries were awesome! I would definitely go back on my next visit since I didn't get a chance to see all the galleries!

Beautiful place. Just things are not in order. You have to skip others starting with the park golf car and going forward
