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.

SMOOTHNESS.. from the drop-off to the pick-up, the card scanning, the staff help and linguistic skills and the planning of the visit inside the Museum, just made it all memorable. The arrival by car is still incomplete long trip for U-turn to acces if coming from Cairo DT. also improving signage for drivers to show where pick-up is would help a lot.

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 and ancient tools.

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.

Fun fact: The Grand Egyptian Museum is the world’s largest archaeological museum, designed to house 100,000+ artifacts, including King Tutankhamun’s treasures.

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

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.

A treasure hunt for history lovers

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.
