Things to do in The Grand Egyptian Museum
As the crowning jewel of Egypt's long and storied past, the Grand Egyptian Museum in the city of Giza holds a special place in the hearts of Egyptians and tourists alike. Stepping into its grand halls feels like you’re stepping back in time on an immersive journey through millennia of history, culture, and tradition. From towering statues of pharaohs to intricately crafted jewellery that was once worn by queens, the museum is a treasure trove of artifacts that tell the tale of this ancient civilization.
Then, there's the building itself. It’s a modern marvel designed to reflect the glamour of Egyptian architecture. Nestled within the bustling cityscape, it’s a peaceful escape offering panoramic views over the Pyramids of Giza, a sight you definitely need to have your holiday tick list. You'll find the iconic Sphinx and a bunch of other iconic sights within a hop, skip and a jump of the museum, too.
Inside, you are greeted by huge, elegantly appointed halls filled with priceless relics from different eras. The star of the show is hands-down the Tutankhamun collection, with its golden chariots and mysterious death mask – it’s a monument to the boy king's short but impactful reign.

Reviews The Grand Egyptian Museum
“Our guide Manal was excellent, very knowledgeable, very friendly and professional, nothing was too much trouble. The flights to Cairo and back to Sharm El Sheikh were good, overall we enjoyed the day, we have said it’s the best holiday trip we have ever done !”
“The whole trip was incredible. I did have an error with my ticket with my name having been input wrong by the company but it was sorted thankfully and I finally made it to the pyramids. The guide Jimmy (Mohammed) was brilliant. He was kind, funny and extremely knowledgeable. A wonderful experience I would recommend to everyone.”
“We enjoyed every part of our experience, the itinerary was well thought out. We started with a boat trip down the Nile, a trip to the pyramids, Buffett lunch and finally the Grand Museum. The 2:15am pick up was a challenge however, we arrived back at the hotel at 20:30pm in time for dinner. Our guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable and friendly - a brilliant story teller! The trip is expensive and we were aware of the extra costs which I’m not sure that everyone in our group was! 5* Trip!”
“The whole day was very well organised from the start till the end. It's a very long day, we were picked up from our hotel at 4.10am then straight to the airport(which was an experience in itself but great overall) the flight to Cairo was only an hour, where Ahmed was waiting for us. He was brilliant very efficient and had a lot of knowledge. First the Pyramids and Sphinks around 3.5h. The the museum. Wow, just wow. Magnificent! Then flight back to Hirghada at21.30. I would absolutely recommend!”
