EXPLORING THE GRAND
EGYPTIAN MUSEUM
Two decades in the making, the GEM is the
largest archaeological museum complex
worldwide dedicated to a single civilisation.
Inside, you'll find King Tutankhamen's gold
mask and sarcophagus—the crown jewels of
the permanent exhibit of treasures from the
boy-king's tomb—alongside the 3,200-year-
old statue of Ramses II. With so much to see,
a visit to the GEM promises an unparalleled
journey through Egypt's rich history.
