ABOUT THIS TOUR
About this journey
A private GEM visit with your own licensed guide, hotel transfers and standard admission.
Highlights
Introduction
Spend real time in the Grand Egyptian Museum with your own licensed Egyptologist guide and air-conditioned private hotel transfers. Discover the great architectural spaces, the galleries and Tutankhamun collection at your pace, rather than squeezing GEM into a Pyramids day.
Who is this tour for?
Best for first-time visitors, families, seniors and guests who already have a separate Giza Pyramids itinerary. Choose a shorter highlights route or allow extra time for the collections.
