"After more than two decades of anticipation, the Grand Egyptian Museum, fittingly known as the GEM, finally opened late last year.

Today, I visited for the first time, and it truly is a wonder. The architecture is stunning and perfectly complements the world-class collections it holds, which is no small feat.

For the first time ever, the complete collection discovered by Howard Carter in the tomb of Tutankhamen is displayed together.”

—Viking Ambassador-at-Large Jean Newman Glock recently on our Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary
