Tour Introduction

A tour which captures the newest and best museums of ancient Egypt and some of the most breathtaking sites of this captivating ancient culture. 

Your adventure centres on a full day inside the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) - now fully open and widely regarded as the most significant archaeological museum in the world. Here, the entire Tutankhamun collection is displayed together for the first time, among tens of thousands of extraordinary artefacts that redefine how Egypt’s past is presented.

Complementing this are visits to:

The Egyptian Museum (EMC)

A historic institution housing masterpieces that trace Egyptology’s evolution and continue to inspire scholars and visitors alike.

The Coptic Museum

A beautifully curated collection illustrating Egypt’s early Christian heritage, showcasing manuscripts, textiles, icons, and architecture that reveal another vital chapter of the nation’s story.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC)

Here, we enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access, offering rare insight into conservation practices and the meticulous work that preserves Egypt’s treasures for future generations.

No journey through Egypt would be complete without standing before the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx - the most evocative and awe-inspiring archaeological landscape in the world. This carefully designed short tour is perfect for travellers seeking the essential highlights, extraordinary new discoveries, and authoritative historical interpretation delivered by our expert historians.
