Overview

A private guided tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum with your own Egyptologist. We collect you from your Cairo or Giza hotel, enter with a pre-booked ticket, and spend about three hours inside the largest archaeological museum in the world, right next to the Giza Pyramids.

Your guide takes you up the Grand Staircase, lined with statues of kings and gods, to the galleries that tell Egypt’s story from prehistory to the Romans. The highlight is the complete Tutankhamun collection, shown together for the first time: his golden mask, chariots, thrones and jewellery. You also meet the colossal statue of Ramesses II in the Grand Hall.

Prices start at $75 per person and include your guide, private transport and your museum entry ticket. Want the Pyramids too? Book our Grand Egyptian Museum & Pyramids tour, or read our Grand Egyptian Museum tickets guide.
