The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum on your Egypt tour and be ready to be swept away on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure through the fascinating history of Egypt. This museum is a colossal representation of Egypt's cultural legacy and long history. With more than 100,000 artefacts spread across 484,000 square feet of floor area, it provides a comprehensive look into Egypt's past. The large courtyard that greets you as soon as you arrive transports you to the majestic surroundings of the neighbouring pyramids. 

The magnificent statue of Pharaoh Rameses II inside the towering atrium sets the tone for the opulence inside. There are 12 display halls where you can see pictures of Egypt's ancient wonders. You can learn about the life and afterlife of Tutankhamun via artefacts excavated from his tomb. Moreover, you can witness how the museum’s style fits in perfectly with the natural environment, combining history and nature in a way that works well together.
