Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

You are visiting 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 funerary objects of King Tutankhamun, which could never be fully displayed in the Egyptian Museum due to lack of space.

In the old town of Cairo, visit the Al Azhar Mosque (AD 972) and El Moaz Street (founder of the city of Cairo AD 969), 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 to Cairo Airport, from where you fly to Hurghada. There our guide takes you in Emfang and accompanies you back to your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh.
