TTC Tour Brands Grant Clients Access to Egypt’s Top Treasures

Sailing down the storied Nile River and witnessing the ancient pyramids of Giza firsthand are just two of the reasons that so many travelers keep Egypt at the top of their wish lists. Now, there will be yet another major attraction that will encourage clients to finally book that Egypt adventure: the long-awaited opening of Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Access to this groundbreaking museum is included on Trafalgar and Insight Vacations guided tours with TTC Tour Brands.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is slated to officially open on November 1, 2025, so visitors this year and next will be among the first to encounter its significant collections. When you book your client on a guided tour of Egypt with Trafalgar or Insight Vacations, entrance to the GEM — considered the world’s largest archeological museum — is included in the fare. This ambitious, 258,000-square-foot space encompasses more than 50,000 artifacts spanning thousands of years, including more than 5,000 objects from the Tutankhamun’s own collection.

Of course, the GEM visit is in addition to the classic must-see sites including the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx; Luxor and Philae Temples; Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple; Abu Simbel, the temples of Ramses II; and a Nile River cruise. All Trafalgar and Insight Vacations guided tours of Egypt visits are spent alongside professional Egyptologists who can offer helpful context.

For clients booking the more independent, budget-friendly vacations offered by Costsaver, admission to the GEM is offered as an optional experience to bundle with any Egypt tour package.

Need more reasons to book your clients on an Egypt trip hosted by TTC Tour brands? Insight Vacations offers culturally unique, women-only departures featuring a small group of travel companions, high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel, as well as a visit to a women’s cooperative in Aswan.

Ranging from nine to 12 days, there are a variety of tours that will appeal to your clients, depending on how in depth they want to experience the destination. Nearly every tour covers the highlights of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan.

For advisors, booking with TTC Tour Brands means complete confidence.
