walking tour Grand Egyptian Museum, King Tut Gallery, Solar boat

Overview

At the GEM Museum, one of the largest archaeological museums in the world and located just minutes from the Pyramids of Giza, you'll enjoy skip-the-line entry and the company of an Egyptologist guide. You will step into the Grand Hall and face the colossal statue of Ramses II, an impressive introduction to Egypt’s past that sets the tone for the rest of the visit. As you move through the galleries, you'll enter the King Tutankhamun Gallery, where every item from the young pharaoh’s tomb is displayed together for the first time, including his famed golden treasures. Along the way you'll also visit the Solar Boat Gallery to see the fully restored boat that once carried the Pharaoh’s spirit to the afterlife — an engineering marvel from ancient Egypt. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the significance of each piece, offer historical context and share fascinating stories and insights into Egypt’s heritage, helping the objects and their history come alive as you explore.
