THE GRAND
EGYPTIAN MUSEUM
Located near the iconic pyramids on
the Giza Plateau, the newly opened
Grand Egyptian Museum spans 120
acres and houses the largest collection
of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The
complex—two decades in the making
and billed as the world's largest
archaeological museum—showcases
approximately 100,000 artifacts,
including the 3,200-year-old statue
of Ramses II. King Tutankhamen's gold
mask and sarcophagus are the crown
jewels of the permanent exhibit of
treasures from the boy-king's tomb.
A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum
