Plan to spend 4–6 hours at the Grand Egyptian Museum. This gives you enough time to see the Tutankhamun galleries, major statues, immersive displays, and temporary exhibits. Archaeology enthusiasts may want even longer to explore the full collection.
If you’re short on time, here’s a rough breakdown of how long each main area might take:
- Grand Staircase & Colossal Statues: 30 - 45 minutes
- Tutankhamun Galleries: 1.5 - 2 hours
- Main Exhibition Halls: 1 - 2 hours
- Temporary / Special Exhibitions: 30 - 60 minutes
- Conservation Center & Interactive Spaces: 30 - 45 minutes
If you’re joining a guided tour or special experience, add 1–2 extra hours to your visit. In general, plan for at least half a day to explore the museum comfortably.
