What UK travellers say about their GEM tours
"The GEM exceeded all expectations! Seeing Tutankhamun's complete collection in one place is incredible — the golden mask alone is worth the trip. Our guide Ahmed was exceptional, bringing every artifact to life with stories. The Pyramids combo made it the perfect day!"
"So glad we booked skip-the-line — the queues were massive! The museum is absolutely stunning. The Grand Hall with Rameses II takes your breath away. Modern, spacious, and beautifully lit. This is how ancient history should be displayed. A must-visit!"
"The VIP tour was worth every penny. Extended time in the Tutankhamun galleries meant we could really appreciate each treasure. Our senior Egyptologist guide had 30 years of experience and showed us details we'd never have noticed. Khufu's Boat was mind-blowing!"
Everything you need to know about visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum
Yes! The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) officially opened to the public on November 4, 2025. All galleries are now accessible including the complete Tutankhamun collection (5,300+ objects), the Grand Hall with the colossal Rameses II statue, the Grand Staircase, Khufu's Boats Museum, and all 12 main galleries spanning prehistoric Egypt to the Roman era.
For foreign visitors (non-residents), adult tickets are EGP 1,700 (approximately £31/€35). Students and children pay EGP 850 (approximately £16). Egyptian citizens and residents have reduced rates. Tickets MUST be purchased online via the official website (visit-gem.com) — the museum no longer sells tickets on-site.
The GEM complex is open daily. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday: 08:30-19:00 (galleries 09:00-18:00). Extended hours Wednesday & Saturday: 08:30-22:00 (galleries 09:00-21:00). Last tickets sold at 17:00 (20:00 on extended days).
Plan at least 3-4 hours to see the main highlights including the Tutankhamun galleries and Grand Hall. For a comprehensive visit including Khufu's Boats and all galleries, allow 5-6 hours or half a day. The museum covers 47 hectares with over 100,000 artifacts!
Absolutely! The GEM is located just 2km from the Pyramids of Giza, making a combo day trip ideal. We recommend visiting GEM first in the cool morning (08:30-12:00), then heading to the Pyramids and Sphinx in the afternoon. Our GEM + Pyramids combo tours include both sites with private transport and expert guide.
Tutankhamun's complete collection of over 5,300 objects is now displayed at the Grand Egyptian Museum. This is the first time ALL of King Tut's treasures have been exhibited together, including his famous golden death mask, gold sarcophagus, ceremonial chariots, jewel-encrusted sandals, thrones, and personal belongings. Previously, items were split between the old Egyptian Museum and storage.
Yes! The GEM was designed with accessibility in mind. There are wide step-free paths, lifts throughout, gentle ramps, clear wayfinding signage, and rest areas. Wheelchairs and strollers are welcome. There's also a dedicated Children's Museum section with interactive exhibits, plus cafés and restaurants for family breaks.
While not mandatory, a licensed Egyptologist guide significantly enhances your experience. The museum houses 100,000+ artifacts spanning 5,000 years — a guide helps you navigate, highlights must-see pieces, explains historical context, and ensures you don't miss hidden gems. Our guided tours include skip-the-line access and typically last 3-4 hours.
