Permanent Collections

The Tutankhamun Galleries

The complete 5,398-piece treasure from Tutankhamun's tomb, displayed together for the first time since Howard Carter opened the burial chamber in 1922. Spread across two dedicated halls covering 7,000 m², highlights include the iconic solid-gold death mask, the innermost gold coffin (110 kg), chariots, gilded throne, and jewelry — many pieces shown publicly for the first time.

Khufu's Boats Museum

Two of the world's oldest intact vessels — ancient solar barques of Pharaoh Khufu, dating to around 2500 BC — housed in a dedicated museum within the GEM complex. The larger boat measures 43.4 metres, assembled from 1,224 cedar planks, and was relocated from Giza to the Grand Egyptian Museum in 2021 after decades in the original Solar Boat Museum beside the Great Pyramid.
