🇪🇬🏛️ A Grand Experience: Visiting the GEM - The Grand Egyptian Museum!

#summervacay I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a place originally slated to open in 2020 but finally (and grandly!) opened its doors in late 2024. Perhaps all that anticipation made it the most anticipated archaeological museum globally! This colossal project, built with a staggering $1 billion investment and spanning 500,000 square meters, offers a vastly improved experience compared to the old museum. It's a remarkably modern and sophisticated museum, with excellent air conditioning – almost a little chilly, in fact! As you wander through its halls, you might even find yourself momentarily wondering if you've stepped into the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum or perhaps the British Museum's Egyptian galleries. It's truly on that level! And here's a crucial tip: their gift shop is absolutely fantastic! We ended up with bags and bags of souvenirs, as you can see in the first photo. It's definitely a place where you'll want to set aside some extra time (and budget!) for unique finds. If you're heading to Egypt, the GEM is an absolute must-visit for an unparalleled journey through ancient history in a truly world-class setting! #grandegyptianmuseum #gem #egypt #archaeology #museum #cairo

The Egyptian Grand Museum is amazing! So much history packed into a beautiful building, wonderfully engineered to include pyramid shapes everywhere! From the huge sculptures taken from rock sides to sarcophaguses never opened, you’ll find plenty to stare and gawk at. It’s worth the extra money to get a guide for an hour or two. There’s really so much to see it can seem overwhelming, but a good guide will get you the best highlights. Plan on at least 2 hours and maybe even a lunch in the many restaurants in the museum’s gallery. #egypt #cairo #grand_egyptian_museum #pyramids #historicallandmarks #localguides #historicallandmarks
