Half day tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum

Description

Half-Day tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum, Blue Rays Tour will take you today to The largest museum in Egypt and certainly, one of the most important attractions in Cairo is the Grand Egyptian Museum. You will find the fabulous collection of King Tutankhamun and monuments from all periods of Egyptian history from the pre-historic era to the Greco-Roman period. Built in Remaya sq, Giza, in 2019. Housing over 450,000 Egyptian artifacts, the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo attracts millions of visitors each year. The highlight for most is the rooms containing the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun. His 6 gold gilded coffins, each one smaller and more intricately decorated than the last, dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the must-see item of the day. The Royal Mummies Room (additional cost) is another highlight of the Egyptian Museum. Here you can see the mummies of many great Egyptian rulers, including Ramses II, the builder of the temples at Abu Simbel. Throughout the rest of the museum, you will find countless Egyptian artifacts dating back thousands of years. My Egypt Travel tour guide will introduce you to the most important pieces before allowing you free time to explore at leisure. This is a private tour allowing you to determine the amount of time spent at the museum. In addition, you will have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how this famous artwork is made and have the chance to purchase genuine items if you wish. If you do not want to include this visit, just inform your guide on the day.
