The Grand Egyptian Museum (The GEM):

• Prepare to be awed by the Grand Egyptian Museum, one of the most ambitious cultural projects of the 21st century and the new crown jewel of Egypt’s archaeological heritage. Located just a short distance from the Pyramids of Giza, this architectural masterpiece serves as a magnificent gateway between the ancient and modern worlds. The GEM invites visitors to embark on an extraordinary journey through more than 5,000 years of Egyptian civilization, from the earliest prehistoric communities to the grandeur of the Greco-Roman era.
• As you step through the museum’s monumental main entrance, covering over 7,000 square meters, you’ll be greeted by the majestic statue of King Ramses II, standing proudly among five colossal artifacts that embody the timeless power and legacy of ancient Egypt. Every hall and gallery within the GEM is designed to immerse visitors in the world of the pharaohs, illuminating their daily life, religion, art, and scientific innovation through thousands of perfectly preserved relics.
• The museum’s awe-inspiring Grand Staircase, spanning 6,000 square meters and rising the equivalent of six stories high, showcases 87 monumental artifacts, each narrating a unique chapter in Egypt’s glorious history.
• This monumental ascent leads guests to the museum’s crowning treasure — the King Tutankhamun Hall. Spread over an impressive 7,500 square meters, this hall gathers together, for the first time in history, all 5,000 pieces from the young pharaoh’s legendary tomb. Visitors will be able to admire the boy king’s golden mask, chariots, jewelry, and personal belongings — a breathtaking collection that offers an intimate glimpse into royal life and the splendor of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty.
• The museum also houses the King Khufu Ship Museum, dedicated to the restoration and preservation of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time — the solar boats of Pharaoh Cheops. Of the 1,272 pieces unearthed from the discovery site, 1,240 have already been meticulously restored, with 1,006 transferred to the GEM for permanent display. This masterpiece of ancient engineering is believed to have carried the pharaoh’s spirit across the heavens, symbolizing eternal life.
