Unlike the older Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, the GEM features state-of-the-art conservation facilities, immersive displays, and interactive technology that brings ancient Egypt to life.
The museum’s proximity to the Giza Pyramids creates a comprehensive archaeological experience, allowing visitors to see artifacts in context with the monuments where many were discovered. Our 2026/2027 tours include extended visits to the GEM with special access to certain galleries.

It’s absolutely worth planning your 2026/2027 Egypt tour around this remarkable institution.”
