Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

We continue our journey and visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). With its 81,000 m² of floor space, the GEM is the largest archaeological museum in the world. The museum opened on November 1, 2025, and has been open to the public since November 4, 2025. A large number of the collection items come from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The main attraction is the almost complete display of the grave goods of King Tutankhamun, which could never be fully displayed in the Egyptian Museum due to lack of space. Then take lunch.

In Old Cairo, visit the Al-Azhar Mosque (AD 972) and El Moaz Street (founder of the city of Cairo 969 AD), the oldest street in the city. A visit to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar in the old town of Cairo and a photo break in the Dead City round off the day. Then drive back to Hurghada.
