About this tour
Discover the Grand Egyptian Museum with Mahmoud, a licensed Egyptologist guide. You meet him in the entrance plaza by the hanging obelisk of Ramses II, buy your ticket at the museum entrance and start with the colossal statue of Ramses II in the Grand Hall. From there you climb the Grand Staircase, lined with statues of kings and gods, and spend time with the treasures of Tutankhamun. The tour takes about two and a half hours and is private for your party. The price is fixed per person: €29 for one guest, €23 per person from 2 guests. Museum tickets are not included and are paid at the entrance. The Giza Plateau is next door, so you can add our guided pyramids tour on the same day. Book online or on WhatsApp.
