The new Grand Egyptian Museum… toot and come in

So to get into the new Grand Egyptian Museum … toot and come in.

Which now the Great and Good have gathered for the official opening us underlings can now get through the big doors.

Egyptophiles have never been better served by travel providers.

Rock like a: Egyptian

To get more out of our visit to the land of the pharaohs.

As we all do while never shutting the door to new opportunities we return to our go-to providers.

For your TUImusement

Hall of fame: The Grand Museum

And for us, and for 40 years, that has been TUI and now they have since 2018 the facility of TUImusement which offers a wide range of travel experiences.

All of which includes excursions, activities, attraction tickets, and transfers, in over 100 destinations worldwide.

And seeing that we always like to see the brightest, shiniest new old thing that means the new Grand Egyptian Museum.

Treasure trove: And you can see it all

Which our Egyptian buddies are proud to claim as the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilisation.

With more than 100,000 artefacts from ancient Egypt.

With permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, a children’s museum, conference facilities, and extensive gardens.

Giza look

Grand Tutan right: Tutankhamun

And, of course, your experience will be completed by visiting the Giza Pyramids.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada and its surroundings to reach Hurghada airport and fly to Cairo.

From where you’ll be driven to the Giza Pyramids, take in the Great Sphinx and enjoy an Egyptian lunch. 

Carry on Cleo: Famous beauty

And we have it first hand from Daddy’s Daughterie that the alternative, a sparrow’s fart rise and a day in a coach will leave you recovering for days.

The Grand Egyptian Museum, of course, does what it says on the sarcophagus.

On the up

On a pedestal: Egyptology

You’ll ascend the Grand Staircase, surrounded by a precisely curated collection of 64 monumental treasures.

Now if you want your own private tour of two it’ll set you back £825.

And because it is always the experiences you turn down when on vacation we’d advise you to go that little bit extra.

On your TUI package trip to Egypt which they, of course, are pitching at your pocket.

With a sample £581pp for seven nights grabbing our eye.

Sharm el-Sheikh it up

And when the leaders of the world have to combine work with pleasure they Sharm el-Sheikh it up.

The fabled resort on the Egyptian Red Sea was, of course, the setting for the Middle Eastern peace conference.

Fittingly, really, as the great watery pleasure ground fronts on to eight states.

Which you’ll know if you’ve been taken out on the water.

Which, we were, in our case by Zuhair, our Jordanian guide on our G Adventures break.

Making a splash: On the Red Sea

Alas in this region you are never too far away from reminders of conflicts past and present.

Such as tanks which have been dropped in the sea… to help with the marine life.

And which the snorkelers in our party availed of, swimming down to the great hulks.

While others wimped out on first contact with the water and got back on board to get an early start on lunch.

Serve it up: Fit for a president

Now should you wish to alight on Sharm el-Sheikh and it is to my regret that I caved in to the Scary One.

And gave away our invitation there back in the day to a less deserving colleague and friend.

Then here are five 5* options hand-picked by our friends at the welcomingly named Plenty Holidays.

With emojis compliments of Plenty Holidays, symbols we think would meet The Donald’s approval.
