Tour Plan
- The GrandĀ Egyptian MuseumĀ (GEM) also known as the Giza Museum, is an archaeological museum under construction in Giza, Egypt. Located next to the Giza Pyramids, the Museum will host over 100,000 artifacts that belong to the ancient Egyptian civilization, including the completeĀ TutankhamunĀ collection, and is set to be the largest archaeological museum in the world. Many pieces in its collection will be displayed for the first time.[4] The museum is sited on a plot of land of about 490,000 square metres (5,300,000 sq ft)[5] which makes it the world's biggest museum, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from the Giza pyramid complex and was built as part of a new master plan for the Giza Plateau called Giza 2030.
- Let's start with theĀ Hanging Obelisk, which is one of the most unique and interesting exhibits in the museum. This obelisk is suspended from the ceiling, giving visitors a unique perspective on its ancient hieroglyphics and intricate carvings.
- Next, we'll move on to theĀ Ramses II Statue. This statue is truly awe-inspiring and is one of the largest exhibits in the museum. It stands tall and proud, and visitors can even observe the intricate details of its carvings and embellishments up close.
- After that, we'll take a look at 10 Statues of Senusert from a distance view, which is a great way to appreciate the artistry that went into creating these ancient works of art.
- We'll then make our way to theĀ Grand Staircase, which you can also appreciate from a distance view. This is a massive staircase that leads visitors up to the upper floors of the museum, and it's truly a sight to behold.
- As we continue the tour, we'll see theĀ Ptolemaic King and Queen exhibits. These displays showcase the fascinating history and culture of the Ptolemaic period in Egypt, and you'll learn a lot about this exciting time in human history.
- Next, we'll see theĀ Victory Columns, which are towering examples of ancient Egyptian art. These columns were built to celebrate military victories and are adorned with carvings and other decorations that are sure to impress.
- We'll then move on to theĀ Royal RegaliaĀ exhibits, which showcase the royal jewels, crowns, and other accessories used by the ancient Egyptian kings and queens. You'll learn about the opulence and extravagance of these ancient rulers and will be in awe of the craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful items.
