The Grand Egyptian Museum is the newest and largest archaeological museum in the world, built on a massive site just minutes from the Giza Pyramids plateau, and has become one of Egypt's most important tourist destinations today.
The complete Tutankhamun collection: for the first time in history, all of King Tutankhamun's artifacts (over 5,000 pieces) are displayed together in one place, after being scattered across different locations for decades.
The colossal Ramesses II statue: greets you in the museum's main atrium, standing over 11 meters tall — the first thing you'll see when you enter.
The Grand Staircase: a long display path filled with statues and artifacts from different Pharaonic eras, arranged chronologically from the pre-dynastic period through the Greco-Roman era.
Proximity to the Pyramids: the site is very close to the Giza plateau, so you can easily combine it with a Pyramids and Sphinx visit in the same day.
Booking: since it's currently one of the busiest sites, tickets are generally best booked online ahead of your visit.
If you want to combine the Grand Egyptian Museum with the Pyramids in a single day trip, a private car with a driver gives you the flexibility to move between the two sites with no time pressure or transport worries.
