Why go
Opened in stages and inaugurated in November 2025, this museum on the Giza side of the city gathers antiquities ranging from prehistory to the Roman period. Two galleries are given over to the objects from Tutankhamun's tomb, shown together in one place. A tiered Grand Staircase lined with royal statues climbs toward the main galleries, and Khufu's funerary boat is displayed within the complex. It is separate from both the Tahrir museum and the civilisation museum in Fustat.
