The Grand Egyptian Museum

Experience the Grand Egyptian Museum through an immersive virtual tour that showcases humanity’s greatest archaeological collection. Begin your journey at the iconic Grand Staircase, where monumental statues of ancient pharaohs tower above you, framed by breathtaking views of the Pyramids of Giza through massive glass walls.

Enter the Great Hall and marvel at the suspended obelisk of Ramses II, seemingly floating in the dramatic atrium space. Navigate through chronologically arranged galleries that guide you through 5,000 years of Egyptian civilization, from prehistoric times through the Ptolemaic period.

Explore the Tutankhamun Galleries – 7,000 square meters dedicated entirely to the boy king. Virtually walk among all 5,398 artifacts from his tomb, including his golden death mask, ornate throne, chariots, jewelry, furniture, and canopic jars. Interactive hotspots reveal the stories behind each object and their significance in ancient Egyptian burial practices.

Visit the Solar Boat Museum within GEM, where Khufu’s magnificent 43.6-meter cedarwood boat is displayed in a state-of-the-art climate-controlled gallery. Learn how this 4,500-year-old vessel was discovered, preserved, and relocated to its new home.

Peer into the transparent conservation laboratories where you can watch real-time restoration work on ancient artifacts. See how modern technology – CT scanning, 3D imaging, and chemical analysis – helps preserve these treasures for future generations.

Experience special interactive features: use AR to see how artifacts were originally used, view 3D reconstructions of ancient temples and tombs, decode hieroglyphic inscriptions with translation tools, and explore virtual flythroughs of archaeological sites across Egypt.

The virtual tour includes multiple viewing times – witness how natural light transforms the alabaster façade throughout the day, and see the museum’s dramatic nighttime illumination. Audio commentary from renowned Egyptologists provides expert insights into the collection’s most significant pieces.
