Grand Egyptian Museum & Museum of Civilization — a museum day

1 dayCairo & GizaPrivateSmall groupVIP

Two of Egypt’s newest museums in one day: the Grand Egyptian Museum beside the pyramids and the Royal Mummies Hall at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

Overview

The Grand Egyptian Museum opened on 1 November 2025 beside the Giza plateau and welcomed more than five million visitors in its first year. It could fill a whole day on its own, so we focus on the highlights — the Grand Staircase and the Tutankhamun galleries — with a licensed Egyptologist.

In the afternoon, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat presents the royal mummies moved there in the Pharaohs’ Golden Parade of April 2021, in a quiet, softly lit hall.
