What to Expect on Your GEM Tour

After hotel pickup you drive to the Grand Egyptian Museum next to the Giza Plateau. In the great atrium, the colossal statue of Ramesses II welcomes you. You then climb the Grand Staircase, where statues of kings and gods are arranged by period, leading to the view of the pyramids. The heart of the visit is the Tutankhamun galleries, where the young king's golden mask, thrones, chariots, jewelry and shrines are displayed together. Your guide selects the highlights and explains the stories behind them, so you get the most out of a museum that could take days to see alone. The tour ends with the Solar Boat of Khufu before you return to your hotel.
