The Grand Egyptian Museum Is Finally Open — And It’s Every Bit as Extraordinary as You Imagined

After more than two decades in the making, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) has finally opened its doors — and it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Perched on the Giza Plateau just outside Cairo, with the Great Pyramid as its backdrop, the GEM is now the largest archaeological museum in the world devoted to a single civilization.

Inside, visitors will find more than 100,000 artifacts, including the entire collection of treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb — over 5,000 pieces displayed together for the first time. The soaring galleries, glass-walled atriums, and grand staircase leading to views of the pyramids make this not just a museum, but an experience that bridges ancient history and modern design.

For travelers, this long-awaited opening changes everything. The GEM creates a new focal point for any visit to Egypt, transforming Giza into a full-day destination that blends art, archaeology, and architecture. It’s the perfect complement to the Pyramids and the Sphinx — and an essential stop on any luxury Egypt itinerary.
