ewe booked this tour with Emo Travel. They picked us up from the hotel in Cairo and drove us to the GEM. Once there you have your ticket vouchers for the entry and guided tour. We visited the Tut Experience, is not historical, just a good video production. But the main thing is the Main Staircase, that takes you to different sections of life during the Pharaohs lives. Every thing is original, and at the end of the staircase you have a beautiful view of the Pyramids. They are adding new sections that you can visit. But even for the main hallway its worth the $15 a ticket. NOTE: they do not allow cameras, but you can take pictures with your phones.

Visited with Egypt to go tours , the museum is amazing and more is opening all the time, we had the immersive Tutankhamen experience and it was awesome , so realistic you felt you were back in time.
Although it is not fully open a visit is Definitely recommended

The Grand Egyptian Museum was newly opened and included in my private tour itinerary.
The museum itself was huge and impressive. Interesting architecture and designs encapsulating the concepts and nuisances of ancient Egyptian culture and designs.
The collection was dismay. Only the exhibition on the steps in the main lobby was available. The layout and display was dangerous as many artifacts were placed on the edge of steps, and visitors could easily fall while looking at them.
The special show was not amazing. The technology was surprisingly not the latest and the contents were weak. I was expecting a strong story on King Tut but it was more like a visual display for kids.
Perhaps the museum will be better in a few years when more exhibits are added and the show improved.

The actual tour had no english speaking tour driver; the car had no air condition.
The actual tour was apart of the bought ticket, that could have been bought on site or online.
The company had to be reminded that water and snacks were to be provided, during the drive to and from the site. There was no information provided, during the drive, about the history of anything.

Currently in it’s trial phase - absolute waste of money. The immersive experience is simply a 30min animated video that tells you nothing about the life of Tutankhamen. Sure the building is beautiful - but it should be free to enter at the moment given there is nearly nothing on display. They are throwing in a guided tour for free - but they are infrequent and we didn’t want to wait an hour given it takes less than that to see the number of items on display.
Not worth the money or time at this point. So very disappointed.

Beautiful museum. Lobby and Grand staircase are gorgeous. So much history. When it fully opens, this will be one of the best museums in the world.

The explanation of the museum was very good because the person in charge was a knowledgeable researcher. Hotel pick-up was also included, which was a relief.
The ticket is required for admission to the museum and theater, so don't forget to download it in advance!
The taxi driver from the outbound trip was waiting for us in the parking lot for the return trip. It's a good idea to check this in advance as well.

Not open yet. Only a small part accessible. Tutankhamun show was okay. The museum’s architecture is amazing. Exhibits currently good.
