At Last – Grand News! It took 15- 30 years to build each pyramid- and how many years has the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) been delayed? Trial Visits program in place now, if you are traveling to Cairo, book your appointment now. Access is currently limited to the Grand Hall, Grand Staircase, commercial area, and exterior gardens.

The Grand Egyptian Museum has begun a limited trial visits program for certain completed areas of the complex that are ready for the public to access and enjoy. While it is no longer always necessary to have an advance reservation for a visit to the GEM for the Trial Visits Program, daily slots are limited and sometimes do sell out in advance. Therefore, an advance online reservation is still recommended.

Before you purchase trial visit tickets, you should watch the April 2024 GEM Updates Video in order to ensure that you fully understand which areas of the GEM will be open and accessible during your trial visit and which areas remain closed until the museum’s full public opening in the near future.

Once you are fully aware of how the GEM trial visits work and what areas are and are not accessible on a trial visit, you may use this link to directly access the legitimate temporary website that has been set up for the GEM trial visits program.
