After years of anticipation, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) has finally opened its doors to the public on November 4, 2025. Located only a few minutes from the Pyramids of Giza, this spectacular museum showcases Egypt’s ancient treasures in a modern and breathtaking setting.

If you’re planning to visit Cairo or Giza, a Grand Egyptian Museum Tour is now a must-do experience. It perfectly complements your Pyramids Day Tour and offers a deeper look into Egypt’s fascinating history.

What Makes the Grand Egyptian Museum So Special

The Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest archaeological museum in the world. It holds over 100,000 artifacts that tell the story of Egypt’s civilization — from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman era.

One of its greatest highlights is the complete Tutankhamun collection, displayed together for the first time since its discovery in 1922. Visitors can also explore monumental statues, royal mummies, and interactive digital exhibits that bring ancient Egypt to life.

As you step into the Grand Hall, a colossal statue of King Ramses II greets you. This magnificent sight sets the tone for an unforgettable cultural journey through the heart of ancient Egypt.
