The Grand Egyptian Museum in the evening
The world's most awaited museum, visited once the coaches have gone.
€€€ High end
The monumental staircase, the Tutankhamun galleries, and the glass wall framing the pyramids: the museum takes three hours at least, and the crowds thin late in the day. Evening slots, when open, give the same building without the queue — and the plateau lights up behind the glass.
The extra bit
Buy online and aim for the last slot: the light on the pyramids from the atrium is worth the shift on its own.
Know before you go
Evening hours vary with the season and events: check on the day, they are not guaranteed.
