New Grand Egyptian Museum and Giza Pyramids from Marsa Alam by Plane

4.1/5
7 reviews

Be one of the first visitors to experience the New Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), set to be the world's largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization. Housing over 100,000 artefacts from ancient Egypt, the museum is designed to provide a modern context for historic artefacts, featuring permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, a children's museum, conference facilities, and extensive gardens. The tour also includes a visit to the Giza Pyramids, the world's most iconic and ancient structures.

Get ready to discover Egypt's most prized possessions. The experience begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam and its surroundings to reach Hurghada Airport and fly to Cairo, from where you'll be driven to the Giza Pyramids. Admire the last remaining wonder of the ancient world before standing in awe beneath the Great Sphinx. Next, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.

At the Grand Egyptian Museum, you'll then start the journey of the Egyptian kings to eternity. Ascend the Grand Staircase, surrounded by a precisely curated collection of 64 monumental treasures from the most illustrious past, and let the mysteries of ancient Egypt unveil before your eyes. On the Grand Staircase, each work of art remains a piece of the intricate puzzle that once was ancient Egypt's fascinating civilization. Afterwards, you'll take your return flight and be taken back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.

    I enjoyed seeing the pyramids and the GE Museum itself. What I didn’t like was that the tour focused more on upselling camel rides and a Nile boat trip for cash than on the historical experience advertised. This reduced our time at both sites, especially the museum (to just less than 2.5 hours: 30 min to get together, 1h guided tour, 1h on our own), which felt rushed and lacked explanation. For the price and duration, I expected a proper cultural tour, not upselling of cheap add‑ons.

    Ein rundum sehr erlebnisreicher Tag, gut organisiert. In einer kleinen Gruppe mit eigenem Guide und Fahrer mit Kfz, immer wieder zu empfehlen. Wir würden wir immer wieder machen. Es wären ein paar mehr Informationen über Ablauf, Flug usw, vorab, besser gewesen.

    Les visites en general sont top ! Admirer ses merveilles est un toujours un plaisir ! Le nouveau musée est superbe ! Par contre le trajet en avion avec PAS est une catastrophe ! Faut être courageux pour y monter ! Avion très vieux extrêmement bruyant et l’intérieur est juste pourri , siège détache déchiré joint de porte et hublot défectueux très sale le wc c’est juste une horreur ! Bref 1h de vol 1h de stress !!!

    De advertentie is misleidend omdat er staat vanuit Marsa Alam echter moet je eerst 4 uur in de bus zitten om naar Hurghada te reizen naar het vliegveld. De excursie zelf is prima geregeld met een uitstekende gids die Nederlands spreekt. Van de 26 uur zijn wij slechts 3 uur in het museum geweest.

    Geweldige bezienswaardigheden met een goede gids. Vooreen redelijk bedrag de extra boottocht over de Nijl was een goed idee. Het zou een nog betere trip zijn als er vanaf Marsa Alam kon worden gevlogen (voor Hilton gasten) dan van Hurgada.

    De ervaring was adembenemend, onze Nederlandse gids was echt een topper. Vertelde veel,, heeft echt onze dag onvergetelijk gemaakt. Minpuntje kwam van de transfere van en naar hotel-vliegveld. Buschauffeur rijdt als een bezetene.
