Plan Your Visit to Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum is generally open from 8:00am to 7:00pm, with extended hours on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Allow at least 3-4 hours to explore the main galleries thoroughly, though you could easily spend a full day discovering the extensive collections. The museum is fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, making it suitable for all visitors.
Photography is allowed throughout the museum, but flash photography and commercial equipment require special permission. Outside food and beverages are not permitted inside, though facilities are available on-site. Non-Egyptian visitors must present a passport for entry, while Egyptian residents need valid photo ID.
Your private transfer service picks you up directly from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, eliminating the need to navigate public transport or parking.
