Grand Egyptian Museum ticket price
The current Grand Egyptian Museum ticket price depends on your visitor category. The official admission page lists EGP 1,590 for adults from Arab or other nationalities.
The museum also announced a price increase for foreign visitors starting 1 November, so ticket prices may change again after that date. If you are planning ahead, it is best to book early and check the latest price before choosing your ticket.
What is included in the ticket?
A standard Grand Egyptian Museum ticket gives you access to the museum’s main galleries and archaeological displays. The official museum platform and tour listings highlight major highlights such as the Tutankhamun collection, the Ramses statue, the grand staircase, and the major exhibition halls.
Depending on the option you choose, you may also get:
- Guided tour service
- Hotel transfers
- Pyramids of Giza access
- Lunch on combo tours
If you want a simple museum visit, a standard ticket is enough. If you want a fuller day, a guided or combo option is usually better value.
What will you see inside?
The Grand Egyptian Museum is one of the most impressive museums in the world for ancient Egyptian artifacts. Visitors come mainly for the Tutankhamun collection, the grand staircase, the Ramses II statue, and the large gallery halls that make the museum feel modern and easy to explore.
This is a great choice if you want the new museum in Giza plus pyramids sightseeing in one day. It is also a stronger experience for many travelers than splitting time between smaller attractions, because it combines scale, design, and major historic pieces in one place.
