TTC Tour Brands to feature Grand Egyptian Museum on Egypt itineraries

TTC Tour Brands will be featuring the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) on all Trafalgar and Insight Vacations Egypt itineraries; and it will be available as an optional experience with Costsaver once the museum fully opens this November.

The GEM will be the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization and shines a spotlight on Egypt as a must-sell destination for 2026

It will showcase over 5,000 treasures from Tutankhamun’s collection together for the first time, along with an iconic Grand Staircase, an 83-ton Ramses II statue in the Grand Hall and cutting-edge research and restoration facilities. Twice the size of the Louvre, the GEM will set a new global benchmark for cultural attractions.

Jen Hirtle, General Manager for EMEA Travel Experiences, TTC Tour Brands, said that: “The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum will be one of the most significant cultural moments of the decade.”

Hirtle continued: “Egypt has always been a destination that inspires travellers and now advisors can offer even more reasons for their clients to experience it with Trafalgar, Insight Vacations or Costsaver. From immersive Nile cruises to curated premium journeys including Women-Only departures, we are giving advisors exciting ways to meet growing demand.”

Trafalgar’s Egypt collection features guided journeys and Nile cruises that immerse travellers in the country’s rich history, combining expert insight from Egyptologists with effortless access to world-famous landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Abu Simbel, and Philae Temple.

Insight Vacations offers a premium experience with elevated inclusions and accommodations, along with Women-Only departures crafted and led by women. Highlights include a visit to a women’s co-operative in Aswan and high tea at the legendary Old Cataract Hotel. For those seeking flexibility, Costsaver provides the freedom to explore Egypt independently while enjoying the ease and confidence of a guided vacation.
