To make the most of your visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, we recommend setting aside 4–6 hours. This gives you enough time to see the Tutankhamun galleries, monumental statues, immersive displays, and temporary exhibitions at a comfortable pace. If you’re an archaeology enthusiast, you could easily spend the better part of a day exploring the full collection and conservation labs.
If you’re short on time, here’s a rough breakdown of how long each main area might take:
- Grand Staircase & Colossal Statues: 30 - 45 minutes
- Tutankhamun Galleries: 1.5 - 2 hours
- Main Exhibition Halls: 1 - 2 hours
- Temporary / Special Exhibitions: 30 - 60 minutes
- Conservation Center & Interactive Spaces: 30 - 45 minutes
If you’re taking a guided tour or adding on special experiences, plan for an additional 1 to 2 hours depending on the program. Regardless of the ticket type, allow at least half a day to enjoy a relaxed and complete visit.
