Set against the timeless backdrop of the Giza pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) welcomes visitors into 40,000 square meters of exhibition space celebrating Egypt’s ancient heritage.

The spacious galleries allow visitors to immerse themselves in the history of the pharaohs and the time of Egypt’s high culture. More than 50,000 exhibits convey the fascination of Egyptian archaeology – from the beginnings of the Old Egyptian period to the Greco-Roman era. Among them is the legendary burial hoard of Tutankhamun, presented in its entirety for the first time.
