Just opened: The world's largest archaeological museum in Cairo

The Falstaff Travel Editors, 06.11.2025

The first plans were drawn up in the early 1990s, and now the "Grand Egyptian Museum" in Cairo is opening its doors: Tutankhamun's treasures can be seen in their entirety for the first time.

After a long planning and construction phase, the "Great Egyptian Museum" on the outskirts of Cairo has been welcoming visitors since November 1. Over 100,000 artifacts from ancient Egyptian history are now on display on more than 24,000 square meters.
