Great way to learn about ancient Egypt
The museum is huge, and I enjoyed exploring the ancient artifacts and statues. The statues, coins, and pottery really showed how cultures blended in ancient Egypt. I also loved the interactive digital displays. They helped me understand the rituals and daily life of the pharaohs. My favorite part was the view of the pyramids of Giza from the Grand Staircase Gallery. Such a memorable visit! It’s a must if you’re in Giza.
Had an amazing time in this museum!
I went with my two kids, and we all loved it! The Tutankhamun Gallery was the highlight for all of us. His sandals, bed, and golden coffin were incredible to see together. It was surreal to see his golden mask in person. Another showstopper was the Ramses II statue. My kids couldn’t get over how big it was. I also liked that we got to skip the line. This allowed us to have a more personalized experience and explore without hurrying.

Here stands the 36-foot-tall (11-meter-tall) statue of Pharaoh Ramses II. It is a masterpiece, over 3,000 years old. The hall spans thousands of square meters. It offers a grand look at thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history.

The journey of Ramses II
The granite statue of Ramses II was moved from Cairo’s Ramses Square to the Grand Egyptian Museum. This 36-foot (11 meters) statue weighs 83 tons and is over 3,000 years old. Moving it took months of careful planning and precise work. Engineers had to lift it without causing cracks or damage. Roads were closed, and cranes lifted it piece by piece. Every step was closely monitored by workers. Now it stands proudly in the Grand Hall, welcoming visitors from around the world. Seeing it up close gives a sense of Ramses II’s power. It also shows the skill of ancient Egyptian builders who created it thousands of years ago.
