If your clients are seeking a bucket list travel experience, now is the perfect time to introduce them to Cairo, affectionately known as the “Mother of the World.” The city, rich with history and vibrant culture, is now home to one of the most highly anticipated landmarks in global tourism—the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). For the first time ever, this $1 billion museum has opened its doors (at least partially), giving visitors access to the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world.

Currently, the museum has opened 12 galleries classified by dynasty, and the museum’s official opening is set for early 2025.

Why Cairo? Why Now?

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM): Billed as the largest archaeological museum ever constructed and solely dedicated to one civilization, the GEM stands as a testament to Egypt’s enduring legacy. Situated on the edge of the Giza Plateau, the museum offers breathtaking views of the pyramids. Travel advisors, this is a golden opportunity to attract clients who are history buffs, cultural explorers or simply looking for an iconic trip.

Says the museum’s Archaeological Director Dr. Eltayeb Abbas, “The Grand Egyptian Museum is intended to preserve the culture of Egypt. The most valuable collection we will have will be the treasures of King Tutankhamun.”

Exclusive GEM Highlights:

  • King Tutankhamun’s Treasures: Visitors will marvel at the entire collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, displayed in one place for the first time.
  • Pharaohs and Monuments: Your clients can expect to see majestic statues of pharaohs who ruled thousands of years ago, with the towering pyramids casting their shadows over the exhibits.
  • Unrivaled Architecture and Design: GEM itself is an architectural wonder, blending modern innovation with ancient history, and providing an immersive experience.
