GET TICKETS TO SEE THE GREAT HALL OF THE GEM!
From February 17-24, the GEM's Great Hall and commercial area will be open to the public as part of a special art exhibition. This is your chance to get a sneak peek inside the museum if you are in Cairo these dates!
It seems like these events could be happening more and more often as time goes on, so stay posted if you will not be in Egypt until later this winter/spring, as there might be another special event happening.

We just came back from Egypt 🇪🇬. Visiting Cairo , Alexandria , Aswan and Luxor !! We really had a great time !! We bought so many stuff that we have to buy an extra luggage 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hahaha I love that! I'm glad you all had a great time. Hopefully we will have you back in Egypt someday.
Next time u come, visit Sharm Al Sheikh, Hurghada, New Alamein City, New Administrative Capital, Siwa Oasis, Port Said, Mount Saint Catherine, Galala City.
you still have a lot to visit in Egypt and by the second time u come, the new capital will be opened and the GEM too.
@@EgyptAdventuresTravelis this museum is opened now?
@@hamidawan8681 it’s not fully open, but you can go and see everything I showed in the video.
I work as an archaeologist in the gem and am very happy to hear your opinion about it. And waiting to see you there after the grand openning ❤❤
Hope it opens soon!
I was there when you called me and told me that tickets were available. My guide and I were able to get in and it was the first time for both of us. Thank you very much.
My pleasure! Glad I could help!
The GEM already looks amazing and we've only see the exterior and main entrance area!!! I have been waiting for years for this to open. I will fly to Egypt once the public can enter. We're almost there!
Yes, we are!
Gus
Great report... Thanks!
In my opinion; this looks massive, a direct representation of the Great Pyramids. Is a direct familiarity when you see the Pyramid in the background, your eyes goes direct to the strength and size of the GEM and viceversa. Due the visual proximity, it make you feel that you are going inside of "modern" one.
This will be the best museum in the world. Not surprise if a tour is dedicated for few days just for the GEM, with expediate special showings.
Again, great job on the report.
Thanks! I am so excited for it to open :)
so from ur describing...u have been there...greetings
Can’t wait to visit
👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼
I’m Egyptian and can’t wait to go to giza and see this for myself
I hope it opens up soon! I am excited for all of my Egyptian friends and colleagues to see it :)
I proud of you Egypt
Me too :)
This looks amazing! I do wish that the front of the building looked less like a box with a few pyramids and had more aspects of ancient Egyptian architecture, but I see how they are trying to blend old and new. Would love to visit Egypt someday
Hope you get to visit someday!
Thank you for this sponsor video, great presentation, wonderful photography, short and useful 🙏
Thank you!
Postponed my trip from 12/21 to 12/22 awaiting the opening. Had a great visit anyway and hope it opens this year. They need the tourism and this will be a huge draw. Thanks for your great videos and updates!
My pleasure! Yes, it is going to be a huge draw when it opens. Everyone is very excited!
Thanks come back again ❤
This area is being transformed the Sphinx airport is nearby, the new monorail, new metro lines, proper restaurants and shops and organized entrance plus organized method for camels and horses
I am excited to see what they do with all of these improvements!
Welcome to Egypt
Thank you!
Great Post.. thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😇
It’s a huge museum very nice 👍 🇲🇦
I cannot wait for it to open fully!
I will visit it in May when it will be fully open ??
So HUGE INSIDE THE MUSEUM
Yes, it’s massive!
in next 3000 years..this museum going to be in the museum...
Right?!
Definitely visiting! 😊👍
Awesome! When?
Hopefully it will be open when I get there, at the end of Oct 2023.
I hope so, too!
Love this! It looks so cool!
Steph! Hey honey! Miss you ❤️❤️
Welcome
Thank you!
Great video, cant wait to visit
Hopefully every gallery is open soon!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Wooow , it looks huge
The Great Hall was huge, yeah!
Magnific
🤓😎😎
Looks amazing!
It was awesome--hope you get to see it sometime.
Thanks for the sharing. I’m going to Egypt next month. Looks like it won,t be opening by that 😢
It probably will not be, but there are now special events happening all the time, so stay tuned, and there might be one when you are in Cairo. You can join my mailing list at the bottom of my website homepage to get any updates: www.egyptadventurestravel.com
Guided tours of the open hall of the museum are now open
@@hraslan thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out
@@hraslan I can't see any dates beyond March 22nd? Any idea why that is?
I was told that the GEM would open by November 2023.
Here’s to hoping it will 🤞🏼!
Its immense😍
It was huge! Super excited for it to fully open.
Great 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
During this time of Transition, are some exhibits at the old museum closing down as they are transported to this new museum? Like if we travel before this opens, would we miss a lot of museum content because it's in transition? (PS: Loving your content.)
The Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square will always remain open, and there is still tons to see there. That museum will not close, even if some areas are being worked on as some objects move to the GEM, some move out of storage and are put on display, and others are moved around. It is still definitely worth a visit.
The Egyptian Museum in Downtown will remain open and has its own collections. Each museum will have a focus so the Civilization Museum has mummies of great kings and queens heros who fought and defeated Hiksos along with items from other periods Greeko Roman, Copitc and Islamic.
I just pray when this opens the govt weed out those annoying hasslers, beggers. minders that annoy you for money to take you for a guided tour.... My trip was ruined to Cairo because I was constantly hassled for services that didnt require any assistance. Hopefully this museum will save you more time from being outdoors in the scorching sun touring the pyramids.
Considering the area inside the GEM is totally closed off, I don't think it will be similar to all of the vendors inside the Giza Plateau, at least, I hope not! This is why I always recommend first-timers to Egypt or those not fluent in Egyptian Arabic use a local guide or go with a company to help keep all of the hassle at bay. I'm sorry you had that experience :(
The whole area all the way to the Giza Pyramids is getting transformed
Mate...your constant panning made me feel dizzy and I felt I lost many details on the places you walked through because the camera never focused and stayed "calm". Nevertheless, i appreciate your effort and your willing for sharing some insights of this fantastic place. Can't wait to be there!
Thanks for the feedback! I hope you have a great time when you visit.
Hi, Is the GEM open for a visit in the foyer, main entrance, restaurants pls?
Yes 👍🏼
Love your content - it certainly helped me worry less taking public transit. Loved Cairo and can’t wait to be back.
Would you be able to make a video on obtaining a job in Cairo?
Awesome, glad you had a good time! The focus of my channel is travel in Egypt, so for getting a job, I suggest looking to other areas, like possibly a Facebook group for expats in Cairo, or online forums/blogs. Best of luck!
I suggest you have a stable income from outside and you will be fine here , we are facing an economical crisis the Egyptian pound value dropped heavily so now 1 dollar worth 31 Egyptian pounds
So if you have 700 💲a month from outside you won’t even need a job here in Egypt you can rent a very good apartment with 350💲 and live with the other 350💲

Hey Gus ! I’m traveling to Egypt is it possible to have a meal at a restaurant of the GEM? Do I need to make a reservation ? Can you help me ? Greetings.
There are several places to eat at the GEM-I would recommend Zooba for great Egyptian food! No reservations needed.
it will be open soon
I hope so 🤞🏼
Instead, I think it's just a shopping mall. 😂
If you think that, then you may prefer the original, historic Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square, which will also be open even after the GEM opens :)
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel I just think GEM is similar to the shopping mall near my house.
@@yankj7647 ah, I see!
Egypt 🇪🇬🦅♥️🖤🤍
❤️❤️❤️
Can anyone walk around the grand hall?
Anyone who has purchased a ticket in advance, yes :)
Thanks Gus.
Impressive architecture, but inappropriate. A statue here and one there, guarding the fast food outlets and the toilets.
I love it, but yes, it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea 😇
I visited the pyramids in 2004 and i made a promise to myself that i will never visit that country again, due to the big mess cairo is. It was a real disaster spending the week there; beggars everywhere, noise, no rules, no safety and very dirty city overall. But this is really a game changer for me, it is making me want to revisit and see how Cairo has improved since then.
I wasn’t in Egypt back in 2004, but Cairo is still chaotic today. I would definitely say that there is a general sense of safety about the city, so I would never tell tourists to worry about safety.
I hope you are able to revisit when the GEM is fully open!

I just returned from Egypt and was told that they ran out of money twice on this project and with the Egyptian pound getting devalued the work is going to be stopped.
Oh wow, this is the first I heard that! That could definitely be a reason behind the delays. I have not heard anything about it being stopped though...it just opened back up until 24 February for another special event.
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel We saw the building and it's very impressive. I was told about the money issues on our cruise down the Nile from a London banker. He said they need to finish the new subway first. We loved our trip and the Egyptian people are wonderful.
We are done and ready but there was Covid then war we want an amazing opening for the World and for us
STARBUCKS! Is nothig sacred?!
There’s also local places, like Ratios and Zooba, so you can try something local instead 😎

@JaYoeNation
