The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
Situated around 2 km from the Giza pyramid complex, the museum has been partially open since October 2024, with visitors able to explore the 12 main galleries.
And now, after more than two decades of anticipation, the Grand Egyptian Museum is finally set to fully open this July.
Guests will be able to wander the much-anticipated Tutankhamun Galleries as well as Khufuâs Boats Museum.
The Tutankhamun Galleries will contain the full collection of artefacts found within the boy kingâs near-intact tomb, which was famously rediscovered by British Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922. That amounts to more than 5,000 objects.
Within the Khufuâs Boats Museum, visitors will also be able to see one of the two ships found sealed in a pit part of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the three major pyramids in the area, which served as the tomb for Pharaoh Khufu. A solar barque, it is believed the vessel was created to carry Khufu into the afterlife alongside the sun god Ra, and dates back to around 2500 BC.
