Step into Egypt’s grand past

Your adventure begins with a seamless hotel pickup, taking you straight to the awe-inspiring Grand Egyptian Museum. Skip the long lines and step into the Grand Atrium, where the towering Ramses II greets you. As you explore the vast galleries, your expert multilingual guide brings history to life. See ancient farming tools, intricate wall paintings of daily life, and the piercing gaze of Scribe Nefer—his kohl-lined eyes a testament to the power of written records. In the “Beliefs” gallery, a striking statue of Osiris, the god of the afterlife, reflects Egypt’s deep spirituality. Then, witness the grandeur of the “Kingship” gallery, where towering statues once stood in sacred temples. Interactive exhibits add a modern touch, from pyramid evolution timelines to recreations of ancient tombs.
