EXPLORE GEM AND CAIRO WITH THE BEST GUIDED TOURS
We are referring to the new and large cultural establishment in the vicinity of the Pyramids of Giza – the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo – which is planned to accommodate the largest collection of the ancient Egyptian artefacts in the world. It is hard to miss this complex of museums with over 100,000 artifacts, including the treasure of Tutankhamun, monumental sculptures and perfectly preserved mummies as it is the place that everyone would like to visit anywhere in Egypt. The following passes are the different packages to tally the best of the Grand Egyptian museum in a modular manner, bypass the queues, and select an experience that will best fit your requirements.
First, one can mention the Basic Skip-the-Line Entry pass which is not difficult and is suitable for people who do not want to participate in guided tours and can visit the location and discover everything by themselves. The pass provides priority entry into the Grand Egyptian Museum, which saves the long queues, particularly during the rush hours. It also takes a visit to the twelve major galleries where sarcophagi, statues, jewellery and papyri narrate over 3,000 years of Egyptian civilisation.
The next one is the Entry + Guided Tour pass that offers a more interesting and intensive view and provides visit with a guide who is a professional Egyptologist. When giving the tour, the guide provides the historical background of the most significant artefacts beginning with the spectacular statue of Ramses II, the rooms devoted to Tutankhamun, the parts devoted to mummification methods and the life of ancient Egypt.
In case you seek something original and with an entertaining twist, you can find the Interactive Grand Egyptian Museum Experience – Discovery Challenge that is a mix of culture and entertainment. The visitors are provided with hints and riddles to be solved and mentored in revealing the mysteries behind the major masterpieces of the museum.
The Entry + Hotel Transfer + Premium Services ticket is targeted at the group of individuals who are interested in having an entirely hassle-free visit. It also involves priority entry to the museum and personal or shared transportation to and out of your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
The other extremely popular one is the Combo Grand Egyptian Museum + Egyptian Museum in Tahrir where you get to visit both the Grand Egyptian Museum and the ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir square, in downtown Cairo. This equation allows you to juxtapose the conventional display of the old museum with the ultra-modern exhibitions of the new complex.
The final one is the Combo Grand Egyptian Museum + Giza archeological sites that will combine touring the Museum and Giza archeological sites (Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx or other archeological sites in the region). These packages usually have an Egyptologist throughout the day in which he or she visits the artefacts and monuments that signify the Egyptian civilisation.
