Discover the Wonders of Ancient Egypt at the GEM

Embark on a GEM VIP tour to discover the wonders of ancient and modern Egypt at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Located about two kilometers from the pyramids, this museum is part of the Giza Plateau project and claims to be the largest archaeological museum in the world, spanning 117 acres. It emerged from the largest architectural competition in history, which received 1,557 submissions from 82 nations. The GEM serves as a global hub for museum communication and features a kids’ museum, a training facility, and a convention center. Workshops are modeled after ancient Pharaonic locations. While stone statues will be relocated to the new museum, jewelry and King Tut‘s golden artifacts will remain in the old Cairo Museum. Join our VIP tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum for an unforgettable experience!
