Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) Site Tickets

The long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum continues its phased opening, with a significant update for travelers:

Final Opening: The official grand opening of the GEM, featuring the highly anticipated Tutankhamun galleries and the Khufu Solar Boat Museum, is scheduled for November 1, 2025.
Current Status: The museum complex is partially open, with visitors able to explore the Main Galleries, Grand Hall, Grand Staircase, and other areas, including the King Tut galleries and the Solar Boat Museum.
Digital Tickets: Egypt has been digitizing its ticketing system for over 110 years, covering its heritage sites. Visitors can now purchase tickets online through the official booking website, via a mobile app, or at self-service kiosks at various sites. This move aims to make the entry process more efficient and reduce reliance on cash payments.

Before you travel, always check the most current and specific advice from your government’s official travel advisory and consult with the Egyptian embassy or consulate for the latest visa regulations.

Hamada did a fantastic job with our 6-day Tour

We believed that 6 days would not be enough time to see everything. It felt like we did a 12-day tour in just 6 days. Hamada did a fantastic job of showing us around his stunning country. Highly recommended.

Transit Stopover in Cairo

We have just returned from a two week holiday in Cape Town. On the way out our airline schedule meant that we had a 15 hour stop in Cairo. We decided to arrange a tour of the city and after asking for quotes/itineraries we chose Egypt Fun Tours. This worked

A great day!!!!
