Grand Egyptian Museum - Tutankhamun Galleries
Enter the Tutankhamun Galleries and transcend the boundaries of his legendary tomb. Immerse yourself in the remarkable story of the Golden Pharaoh, who ascended to power around 1336 BC and ruled until 1327 BC. Experience a unique exhibition where, for the first time in history, the entire Tutankhamun collection is displayed together under one roof.
Explore more than 5,000 priceless artifacts that were placed beside the young king to guide him on his eternal journey. Among these magnificent treasures are objects of royal splendor used in sacred rituals and state ceremonies, as well as deeply personal belongings — jewelry, fine garments, exquisite furniture, provisions, chariots, and weapons, each revealing an intimate portrait of Tutankhamun’s life, reign, and afterlife.
- Giza - Then move to the delightful part of the tour and savor authentic Egyptian traditional cuisine. Choose to enjoy an open buffet of traditional Egyptian lunch or try Egyptian Koshary, a special combination of rice, noodles, chickpeas, black lentils, fried onions, and tomato sauce. Alternatively, try Shawarma, made of spit-roasted layers of lamb, beef, or other meat, often wrapped in or served with pita, or enjoy a Falafel sandwich (deep-fried balls or patties made from chickpeas or fava beans, sometimes both), with Fava beans and Baba Ganoush sandwiches (made of eggplant blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt). At the end of your tour, you will be driven back to your hotel.
