We visited the great Egyptian Museum on December 22 , a wonderful time to visit Egypt as temperatures do not exceed 22 /23 degrees during the day and in a country where it never rains, the weather is perfect . The Italian guide picked us up from our hotel and immediately made herself available to our every request and question . Excellent explanation in the museum tour in perfect Italian . At the end we were dropped off at the museum as per our request so we could continue and explore further on our own . Very low prices compared to other agencies . Highly recommended!

The Grand Egyptian Museum is genuinely breathtaking. From the moment you arrive, the scale, light, and architecture feel monumental yet elegant. Seeing Egypt’s history displayed with such care and modern storytelling is unreal — it finally matches the greatness of the civilization itself. The galleries flow beautifully, the design is world-class, and the views of the pyramids are just wow. It feels like Egypt stepping confidently into the future while honoring its past. A must-see, even if you think you’ve “done” museums before.

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.

It's amazing, impressive. With exquisite modern architecture and a dynamic layout, the lighting is perfect. The only thing that could be improved is that they take into account the Spanish language and other languages, not just English. In the digital age, they could provide audio in all languages for blind people and make the experience more inclusive. It was a pleasure to visit. I hope you take this suggestion on board.

Nice experience at the GEM in Giza, using the skip-the-line ticket we got in quickly and could start visiting right away. The exhibit is huge although explanations to what you see are often lacking in case you want to visit on your own. Beautiful and worth the. Ticket price the solar boat of Cheops and the tombs of Tutankamon including the golden mask

The new museum in Egypt is truly fascinating, with a vast array of exhibits. There are so many items on display. I spent a long time exploring. It gave me a unique experience, allowing me to understand ancient Egyptian civilization. The facilities in the rooms are also very complete, excellent, and highly recommended with five stars.

Buying the tickets was quick and easy. With a cancellation period, the tickets were activated 24 hours in advance. Everything went perfectly on site, and admission was smooth. The visit to the GEM was, of course, absolutely amazing—just an incredible building with breathtaking exhibits. Super great!
