Explore the Grand Egyptian Museum

The brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum, beside the Pyramids, is arguably the single best reason to visit Egypt right now. The largest archaeological museum in the world, it displays over 100,000 artefacts, including, for the first time ever, the complete treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb together in one place, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Pyramids beyond. Tickets must be booked online in advance, and you'll want four to five hours. It's a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime experience. We'll explain how to book, what not to miss, and how to combine it with the Pyramids on the same side of the city.
