At Miss Egito Tours, we are thrilled to offer you an exclusive sneak peek into the much-anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Years in the making, this colossal museum is set to be the largest archaeological museum in the world, showcasing over 100,000 artifacts from Egypt’s ancient past, including the complete King Tut treasure collection for the first time. While the full opening is yet to happen, our guided mini-tours give you a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of the museum's architecture and its carefully curated spaces.
What to Expect on Your Grand Egyptian Museum Mini Tour
Though the Grand Egyptian Museum’s exhibitions and galleries still await their grand opening, our mini
tours offer an insightful and intimate experience. Here's what you'll explore:
- Outer Gardens: Start your tour in the museum's beautifully designed gardens, where you can admire the striking architecture and a unique hanging obelisk.
-Grand Hall: Step into the museum’s majestic Grand Hall, home to a 3,200-year-old statue of Ramses II, alongside other significant ancient artifacts.
-Grand Staircase: Ascend the Grand Staircase, flanked by statues that tell the stories of Egypt’s powerful past.
-Commercial Area: After the tour, relax at one of the museum's restaurants or cafes, or browse the gift shops for a memento of your visit.
Our knowledgeable guides are well-versed in both the history of the museum and Egypt's rich heritage. They’ll provide fascinating insights and are ready to answer any questions.
Children’s Programs
Miss Egito Tours is also delighted to offer a range of children’s programs at the Grand Egyptian Museum. These programs, designed for ages 6-12, offer thematic activities such as pyramid engineering and archaeological explorations with robots, making history both fun and educational.
Planning Your Visit
While the Grand Egyptian Museum is located close to the Pyramids of Giza in the Haram district, we recommend staying in central Cairo if you’re only planning a short visit. However, if you're keen to explore the pyramids and nearby historical sites over multiple days, there are several excellent hotels nearby, including the luxurious Marriott Mena House.
