Cairo → Grand Egyptian Museum: key facts

Getting from Cairo Airport (CAI) to Grand Egyptian Museum takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–50 min in heavy traffic) over 38 km via 516. Our private transfer costs €30 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €45 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1, 2 or 3, or the Seasonal Flights Terminal), after passport and visa control, baggage reclaim and customs, with a sign showing your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

The Grand Egyptian Museum stands on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road at the north-eastern corner of the Giza Plateau, about 2 km from the Great Pyramid. From the airport the drive takes the Ring Road west across the Nile and then the Desert Road junction at Remaya Square, which avoids the narrow streets of Haram. Because the museum sits directly on a main road, it is usually reached a little faster than the Sphinx gate, though traffic on the Ring Road still sets the pace.

The museum is a large modern building with a triangular facade facing the pyramids. Inside, a colossal statue of Ramesses II stands in the atrium and the Grand Staircase, lined with royal statues, leads up to the main galleries, which include the complete Tutankhamun collection. The building is surrounded by gardens and a large forecourt, and the drop-off point is at the visitor entrance on the forecourt side. Many visitors combine it with the Giza Pyramids on the same day, since the plateau gate on the Desert Road is only a short drive away.

Public transport: There is no direct public connection from the airport to the Grand Egyptian Museum is.
