Il Grand Egyptian Museum è un monumentale museo archeologico situato a Giza, a circa 2 chilometri dalle Grandi Piramidi. Con una superficie di 872.000 piedi quadrati distribuita su 12 gallerie, espone i reperti in ordine cronologico e tematico, ripercorrendo l'intera storia dell'antico Egitto. Il pezzo forte è la collezione completa di Tutankhamon, composta da 5.000 oggetti — riuniti in un unico luogo per la prima volta da quando la tomba del faraone fu aperta nel 1922 — tra cui l'iconica maschera funebre in oro. I visitatori salgono una grande scalinata fiancheggiata da statue monumentali verso finestre a tutta altezza che incorniciano le Piramidi. Il complesso comprende anche le barche solari ricostruite di Cheope, un centro congressi e giardini. Progettato da Heneghan Peng Architects, ha richiesto oltre due decenni di lavori prima della sua inaugurazione completa il 1° novembre 2025.
