Fast-track your way into the land of the pharaohs

Skip the long lines and directly step into the Grand Egyptian Museum, where ancient Egypt comes to life. See the only Hanging Obelisk in the world, reaching for the sky. Wander through the Grand Hall, where towering statues stand like ancient gods, then head to the Grand Staircase Gallery to see over 60 stunning artifacts. From prehistoric tools to Roman-era treasures, every exhibit tells the story of Egypt’s glorious past. 

A treasure hunt for history lovers

Explore 12 brand-new galleries that each bring a unique piece of Egypt’s story to life. Galleries 1-3 take you to the prehistoric period with hunting tools and vivid wall paintings. Then, head to the Middle Kingdom in Galleries 4-6, where statues of divine figures like Osiris, the god of death, will greet you. Galleries 7-9 offer a glimpse into the New Kingdom’s splendor (though the treasures of King Tut are still under wraps). Galleries 10-12 guide you through the Graeco-Roman Period, Late Period, and Third Intermediate Period, with artifacts that span from 1069 BCE to 394 AD. Ready for a challenge?
