Buy only from the official website
The Grand Egyptian Museum sells tickets through one official website only, and states that it is not responsible for tickets bought through any other platform. The Buy Tickets buttons on this page go directly to that official site. We are a travel company and we do not sell museum admission tickets ourselves.
Current ticket prices are shown on the official booking page once you choose your visit date, so we do not reproduce them here.
