Cairo, Egypt

4 to 5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: German and 4 more

Walk into the largest archaeological museum ever built, just months after it opened, with one of the only people in the room qualified to actually explain what you're looking at.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is home to King Tutankhamun's complete treasures, shown together for the first time in history. The boy king's gold mask, his throne, the chariots, all of it. Your licensed Egyptologist walks you through the soaring atrium past the towering statue of Ramses II, up the Grand Staircase lined with royal monuments, and into the galleries that most tours rush through in twenty minutes.

You won't rush. There's no fixed script and no group to keep up with. Linger at Tutankhamun's golden mask as long as you want. Ask the questions you've always wondered about. Hear the stories behind the pieces from someone who studied them.

Private car, hotel pickup, bottled water, no shopping stops. Just you, your group, and an Egyptologist who loves their country.

Half a day. Worth every minute.

    Grand Egyptian Museum

    Your Egyptologist meets you at your hotel and travels with you to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world. Inside, you'll move through the galleries at your own pace. See King Tutankhamun's complete collection, shown together for the first time in history, alongside masterpieces from every era of ancient Egypt. Your guide brings it to life with the stories behind the pharaohs, their daily lives, and the art they left behind. Before the drive back, take in the view from the museum's terrace, with the Pyramids of Giza right there on the horizon.
