Private Visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

My main goal was to see all of King Tuts artifacts...I was impressed. My guide Marie was the best. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fatima was a wonderful tour guide and our driver was fantastic! A great way to start our Egyptian vacation!

Sameh, our guide, was excellent. We walked thorough all the galleries and he gave us very detailed descriptions of the highlights. We decided to stay longer and found our own way back to our hotel.

Smooth pick up at our hotel, Guide with knowledge that he shared. Drop off and done. Guide did talk low, needs to improve he's voice range. And please use mint drops.

Grand Egyptian Museum On this, my third trip to Egypt, I had hoped that I would finally see the new Grand Egyptian Museum, which is intended to house all of the King Tut artifacts, many of which have never been exhibited before. To my dismay, the museum is still less than 25% open, but it is still worth the trip, not only for the great staircase of statuary in the soaring atrium, but also for the architecture of the building itself. The final building design was the winner of a world-wide competition of 1,557 entries, awarded to architects Róisín Heneghan and Shi-Fu Peng, and their company Hen

The museum is breathtaking! Our guide was excellent. He had a thorough knowledge of Egyptology and answered all of our questions. He is also charming.
