The Grand Egyptian Museum Tour

The Grand Egyptian Museum Tour

The GEM Complex is now offering limited tours to test site readiness and the visitor experience ahead of the official opening. The Grand Egyptian Museum also known as the Giza Museum, is an archaeological museum under construction in Giza, Egypt, about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from the Giza pyramid...

Overview

The GEM Complex is presently under limited tours meant to gauge both the preparedness of the test site and visitor experience before going fully public.

What is available at present includes only the Grand Hall and Grand Staircase, commercial area plus exterior gardens.

All other interior spaces, galleries, and collections are strictly off-limits until further notice from management who will make an official pronouncement regarding their availability.

The Giza Museum is officially called the Grand Egyptian Museum.

It is being set up as an archaeological site at a distance of hardly 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) from the Giza pyramid complex in Giza, Egypt.

More than 100 thousand artifacts of ancient Egyptian civilization will be housed under this museum with the full Tutankhamun collection-where-most items will see daylight for the first time they have ever been displayed.

The building will offer 872,000 square feet (81,000 m²) of floor area and, indeed, it shall become acknowledged as the world's largest archaeological museum.

The project forms part of a broader master plan for the Giza Plateau under an initiative referred to as "Giza 2030."
