Tour Overview
Museum only: a planned circuit of the Grand Egyptian Museum with a private Egyptologist — no pyramid stop on this outline. This itinerary is "Grand Egyptian Museum Half Day". Named stops: Grand Hall and colossus of Ramses, Main galleries, Tutankhamun galleries when open, Khufu Boat Museum when open.
This morning stays inside the Grand Egyptian Museum. The rooms are set with your guide before you enter: Grand Hall, sculpture, the main chronological galleries, and Tutankhamun when open.
Memphis is the old capital laid out on the ground: the fallen colossus of Ramses and an open-air garden of statues. The Grand Egyptian Museum sits beside the plateau: atrium sculpture first, then the rooms your guide edits — Tutankhamun if those galleries are open on your date. On the Giza plateau the walking line is Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure — three kings, not one photo stop from the parking lot.
"Grand Egyptian Museum Half Day" is written for Approx. 4 Hrs. Pickup is from the hotel you name; the first stop is the first site on this page, not a coach timetable.
This outline does not include the Giza plateau. Pyramids stay on another morning.
