When it is completed, the Grand Egyptian Museum just outside of Cairo on the Giza Plateau (and next door to the Pyramids) will not only be the new crown jewel of Egypt, but it will also be one of the largest, most modern, and most renowned museums in the entire world.

When the Grand Egyptian Museum fully opens to the public in mid-2024 (estimated), it will be the largest archaeological museum complex in the world and host to more than 100,000 artifacts.

Check back here periodically for information about the Grand Egyptian Museum’s official opening announcement. We will re-post the official opening announcement and opening dates here as soon as they are made public and information about public ticket sales becomes available.

The Grand Egyptian Museum has begun a limited trial visits program for certain completed areas of the complex that are ready for the public to access and enjoy. While it is no longer always necessary to have an advance reservation for a visit to the GEM for the Trial Visits Program, daily slots are limited and sometimes do sell out in advance.
