TTC Tour Brands has announced that the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) will be included on all Trafalgar and Insight Vacations itineraries in Egypt, with Costsaver guests able to add the museum as an optional experience once it officially opens this November.
“The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum will be one of the most significant cultural moments of the decade,” said Jen Hirtle, General Manager for EMEA Travel Experiences, TTC Tour Brands, in a media statement. “Egypt has always been a destination that inspires travelers and now advisors can offer even more reasons for their clients to experience it with Trafalgar, Insight Vacations or Costsaver. From immersive Nile cruises to curated premium journeys including Women-Only departures, we are giving advisors exciting ways to meet growing demand.”
A Must-See Experience for Clients
Set to become the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization, the Grand Egyptian Museum will feature more than 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun’s collection displayed together for the first time. Other major highlights include the 83-ton statue of Ramses II, a dramatic Grand Staircase and state-of-the-art research and restoration facilities. At nearly twice the size of the Louvre, the museum is expected to redefine global cultural tourism.
Trafalgar’s Egypt programs feature expert-guided tours and Nile River cruises that highlight the country’s iconic landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Abu Simbel and Philae Temple.
Insight Vacations offers a more premium approach, with elevated accommodations and immersive inclusions such as women-only departures crafted and led by female travel directors. These itineraries include special experiences like visiting a women’s co-operative in Aswan and enjoying high tea at the historic Old Cataract Hotel.
For travelers seeking flexibility, Costsaver provides a balance of independence and guided support, allowing guests to explore Egypt at their own pace with the assurance of professional planning and local expertise.
TTC Tour Brands is also reminding advisors that Egypt remains open and safe for travelers, with popular destinations such as Cairo, Luxor and Aswan operating under heightened security measures and a dedicated tourism police presence.
