What are the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opening hours and visiting times?

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is open daily with standard daytime hours and extended evenings on select days, but times may change on holidays and during Ramadan.

The Grand Egyptian Museum currently operates with full-day visiting hours and selected late evenings. On most days, visitors can expect the museum to open around 9:00 AM and close around 6:00 PM, while on Wednesdays and Saturdays the site usually offers extended evening access up to about 9:00 PM. During Ramadan, hours are shorter, commonly from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, to reflect the special schedule in Egypt at that time of year.

Because the GEM is still relatively new and its schedule has been adjusted several times, opening times can change for special events, national holidays, or operational updates. For this reason, it is always best to double-check the exact hours shortly before your visit through official channels or with your tour organizer.
