The Grand Egyptian Museum, an immersive experience of ancient Egyptian civilization

📍Location: Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt (located near the Giza Pyramid Complex, just search "Grand Egyptian Museum" for navigation, the location is super close to the pyramids~) 🚗Transportation: It’s recommended to take a taxi or charter a car from downtown Cairo. The museum is not far from the pyramid area, about a 30-minute drive, and you can even catch a glimpse of the pyramids from afar along the way~ The transportation around the museum is quite convenient, and after visiting, you can head straight to the pyramids, making it a smooth plan for the day~ 👍️Highlights to experience: 1. Pyramid view from the rooftop: Although the glass is a bit dirty and the angle isn’t perfect, you can frame two pyramids at once from the museum’s rooftop. This blend of ancient and modern views is quite special and worth snapping a photo📸 2. Pharaoh statue photo spot: On the escalator, you can capture rows of pharaoh statues. Although the lighting is a bit “dead,” the atmosphere is immersive, giving you a feeling of time traveling back to ancient Egypt~ 3. Trendy restaurant tasting: Try the Zooba restaurant on the first floor. The baked cheese beef sauce pasta with mint lemonade is said to be a hit from Cairo all the way to New York. Perfect for refueling after a tiring visit🍝 🎟️Ticket info: Check official sources for exact ticket prices in advance. It’s recommended to buy tickets on-site or book online ahead to avoid queues~ The museum just opened recently and currently has no Chinese audio guides. If you want to deeply understand the exhibits, it’s best to do some research beforehand~ 💗Other tips: - Dress warmly! The air conditioning inside is extremely cold, even if it’s tropical outside. It’s advisable to bring a light jacket or you might shiver in no time🥶 - Eat first, then explore! The museum has over ten halls and can be exhausting to tour. There are plenty of restaurants on the first floor, so fill up before heading to the exhibition areas to keep your energy up~ - Lower your expectations: The exhibition layout is a bit winding, and the cultural products might not be as impressive as expected. Just enjoy it with a relaxed mindset~ If you prefer a more “lively” display, consider visiting the original National Museum, each has its own charm~ - Communication tips: Chinese guides might have limited in-depth historical explanations. For a basic understanding, it’s fine, but for deeper insights, prepare by researching or hiring a professional guide~ The newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum has some minor flaws, but as the closest new landmark to the pyramids, it’s definitely worth a visit~ After touring the museum, head to the pyramids for a full day immersed in ancient Egyptian civilization—it’s definitely a trip well spent~ 😉
