The world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilisation. Admission from EGP 200, guided tours in Arabic and English, the GEM Audio Guide, the Children's Museum — and late openings every Wednesday and Saturday.
Everything you can book right now for a visit to the GEM. All bookings are made on the museum's official ticketing website — tickets bought anywhere else are not guaranteed.
Ticket
One ticket for the whole complex: the Tutankhamun Galleries, the Main Galleries, the Grand Hall and Grand Stairs, Khufu's Boats Museum, the commercial area and the gardens.
EGP 200 Egyptians · EGP 750 residents of Egypt · EGP 1,500 visitors.
Experience
See the highlights with a museum guide. Tours run from 10:00 to 15:30, and the guided-tour ticket replaces the standard admission ticket — nothing else to buy.
EGP 350 Egyptians · EGP 2,000 visitors. Eight daily start times.
Add-on
Egypt's first full-collection museum audio guide. Hear the story behind every artefact in your own language, at your own pace.
Added during booking. A valid ID is left as a deposit when you collect the device.
Add-on
A treasure hunt through the galleries for friends and families: follow the clues, solve the puzzles, find the key to the hidden treasure. Winners take home a souvenir.
Daily at 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00 — plus 18:00 on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Families
Ancient Egypt for young explorers — hands-on learning built around children's curiosity, open every day from 10:00 to 17:00.
Added to your museum booking as an extra experience.
Save 50%
Foreign residents pay the expatriate rate — EGP 750 instead of EGP 1,500 for adults, EGP 380 for children and students. Bring proof of residency.
Select "Expatriate" when booking. Residency proof is checked at the entrance.
Evenings
Galleries stay open until 21:00 and the complex until 22:00 — the quietest, coolest time to walk the Grand Stairs and see the facade lit up.
Book an afternoon entry slot. Last entry is one hour before the galleries close.
Free entry
Children under six, visitors with disabilities, ICOM members and accompanying Egyptian tour guides enter free all week. Students, veterans and several other groups are exempt on selected days.
Valid ID proving eligibility is required. Full list on the ticketing website.
Experience
"Discover the Origins of the Pyramids" — step inside the story of how the pyramids were built through a mixed-reality headset, on site at the museum.
Availability and pricing are published on the main museum website.
Groups
Coach groups, travel agencies, schools and corporate visits are booked directly with the museum's booking teams rather than through the online shop.
