Grand Egyptian Museum Tour: Private Half Day from Cairo

This private Grand Egyptian Museum tour is a 3-hour morning visit to Egypt’s newest major museum, located near the Pyramids of Giza. You choose how much is included, from a car with driver only up to a package with a guide, entry tickets and lunch.

What you will see

The visit starts outside with the hanging obelisk at the entrance, then moves into the vast atrium dominated by the colossal statue of Ramses II. From there, the Grand Staircase climbs past rows of statues of kings, queens and gods, ending with a view towards the pyramids. Along the way you see royal statues from the Ptolemaic period, inscribed victory columns and objects linked to royal power and regalia.
