Your half-day experience begins with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Meet your private guide and travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Located near the Giza Pyramids, the museum provides an impressive introduction to thousands of years of Egyptian history, art, religion, and royal culture.

It can also be combined with other Cairo attractions, including the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, Saqqara, or Memphis, depending on your schedule.
