Your journey through time begins the moment we pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. As we approach the majestic Great Egyptian Museum, you will feel the excitement build: you are about to enter a modern temple dedicated to ancient Egyptian wisdom!
As soon as you arrive, you will stand open-mouthed in front of the imposing building, an architectural masterpiece that fuses past and present. For the next two hours, you will be the protagonist of a unique adventure through the wonders of ancient Egypt.
Your heart will beat faster when you come face to face with the hanging obelisk, a monumental column dedicated to the great Ramses II. This is only the beginning of the surprises that await you!
As you enter the Grand Hall, you will feel humbled by the colossal statue of Ramses II, 12 meters high and weighing 83 tons. Imagine the power and majesty of this pharaoh as you admire this thousand-year-old work of art!
As you ascend the Grand Staircase, you will feel like you are ascending to the realm of the Egyptian gods. Each step will bring you closer to breathtaking sculptures, majestic columns and ancient sarcophagi. You will almost hear the voices of the ancient Egyptians whispering their secrets of eternity.
And when you least expect it, a breathtaking view awaits you: through a large glass window, the pyramids of Giza will stand out on the horizon, a bridge between the museum and the wonders you have always dreamed of seeing.
Before concluding this extraordinary adventure, you will have the opportunity to take with you a tangible reminder of ancient Egypt.
In the shopping gallery, you can choose from reproductions of archaeological finds, books revealing the secrets of Pharaonic cuisine and local artefacts that encapsulate the essence of this mysterious land.
Strategically located on the outskirts of Cairo, a stone's throw from the pyramids of Giza and a short distance from Sphinx Airport, the GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum) is an unprecedented cultural giant.
With its 500,000 m2 of surface, this modern temple of history contains the essence of millennia of Egyptian civilization.
Born from a 90s dream and realized thanks to international collaborations, the museum is a triumph of modern design that blends harmoniously with its surroundings, offering a cutting-edge experience for every visitor.
