O Grand Egyptian Museum é um museu arqueológico monumental em Gizé, situado a cerca de 2 quilómetros das Grandes Pirâmides. Com 872.000 pés quadrados distribuídos por 12 galerias, exibe artefactos de forma cronológica e temática ao longo de toda a história do Egito Antigo. A peça central é a coleção completa de Tutankhamun, com 5.000 peças — reunida num só local pela primeira vez desde a abertura do túmulo do faraó em 1922 — incluindo a icónica máscara funerária de ouro. Os visitantes sobem por uma grande escadaria ladeada por estátuas monumentais em direção a janelas do piso ao teto que enquadram as Pirâmides. O complexo abriga ainda as barcas solares reconstruídas de Khufu, um centro de conferências e jardins. Projetado pelo Heneghan Peng Architects, o museu levou mais de duas décadas a ser construído antes da sua inauguração completa, a 1 de novembro de 2025.
