As an archaeological museum, the Grand Egyptian Museum redefines the museum experience with its vast, light-filled halls and thematic galleries. Visitors can explore everything from prehistoric relics to Roman-era statues, all while enjoying interactive displays, immersive storytelling, and breathtaking views of the Giza Plateau.

According to the museum and Egypt Travel, the Grand Egyptian Museum was designed to house one of the world’s largest collections of a single civilization: ancient Egypt. That scale shows in its monumental atrium, long gallery routes, and dedicated Tutankhamun displays, with the full collection of over 5,000 artifacts planned to be shown together for the first time in one museum setting.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in Old Cairo's Fustat district opened its Royal Mummies Hall in 2021, housing 22 pharaonic royal mummies transferred from the Egyptian Museum including Ramesses II. Find standard entry tickets, Royal Mummies Hall access, and guided tour options here.
