Address

El Remayah Square on the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, 10 minutes' drive from the pyramids

Fully opened in November 2025, it greets you with an 11 m statue of Ramses II in the atrium. Behind him, the Grand Staircase climbs past 60-plus statues in date order, and the window at the top frames the pyramids. The heart of it is the Tutankhamun galleries: the gold mask, chariots, beds, even sandals, everything from the tomb in one place. Khufu's 4,600-year-old solar boat, 43 m long, is on the same ticket.
