Nested Golden Shrines and Coffins: The gilded shrines and overlapping coffins that protected the king's mummy.
Chariots, Weapons, and Daily Life Objects: The full array of the young pharaoh's possessions, from ceremonial daggers to furniture and clothing.
Grand Hall and Entrance Attractions
As you enter the museum, you are immediately greeted by monumental works:
Colossal Statue of King Ramses II: An 11-meter-tall, 83-ton statue carved from red granite that stands in the Grand Atrium, welcoming visitors.
The Hanging Obelisk of Ramses II: A unique display where you can walk underneath the world's first "hanging" obelisk to view a cartouche inscribed on its hidden base.
The Grand Staircase
The monumental, six-story Grand Staircase is a museum highlight itself, featuring a chronological journey through ancient Egyptian history. It is lined with over 60 massive statues and artifacts from various eras, connecting the main galleries and culminating in a panoramic view of the Giza Pyramids. Notable pieces here include:
Colossal Statue of Queen Hatshepsut
Seated statue of King Thutmose III
The Victory Column of King Merenptah

The GEM is the new home of one of the world's oldest and best-preserved wooden vessels:
Khufu's Solar Boat: A 4,600-year-old, fully preserved cedar boat that was discovered near the Great Pyramid and is believed to have been intended to carry the pharaoh (Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid) in the afterlife.
Main Galleries
The museum houses over 100,000 artifacts across 12 main exhibition galleries, which chronicle the history of Ancient Egypt from the Prehistoric period all the way to the Greco-Roman era.
Look for other significant treasures like the Statue of Khafre (Chephren) and the over 5,000-year-old Narmer Palette, which records the unification of Egypt.
