TTC Tour Brands adds Grand Egyptian Museum to Egypt itineraries

TTC Tour Brands is expanding its Egypt offerings with the addition of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which will be featured on all Trafalgar and Insight Vacations itineraries and available as an optional experience with Costsaver once the museum fully opens in November.

Located near the Pyramids of Giza, the GEM will be the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization. 

The long-awaited cultural landmark will display more than 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun’s collection together for the first time, as well as a monumental statue of Ramses II, the Grand Staircase and advanced research and restoration facilities.

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

“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 itineraries feature guided journeys and Nile cruises led by Egyptologists, with visits to landmarks such as 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, including Women-Only departures led by female travel directors. 

Travellers can also visit a women’s co-operative in Aswan and enjoy high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel.

For more flexibility, Costsaver’s Egypt trips allow travellers to explore independently while benefiting from the support of a guided vacation.
