We found no official Grand Egyptian Museum discount or promo code. The museum sets the ticket price on its official website, and sites promising “discount” tickets are a known scam (Egyptian Streets, 2026). There are real ways to pay less, though.
In short
- No official promo code that we could find (October 2026).
- Students and children: EGP 920; foreign residents: EGP 920.
- Children under 6 and visitors with disabilities enter free.
- “Discount ticket” sites are a red flag.
Is there a promo code?
Not on the museum’s own ticket website, as far as we could see in October 2026. Prices for each visitor category are set by the museum, and from 1 November 2026 the foreign adult ticket costs EGP 1,830 (Egypt Independent).
How can you pay less for the Grand Egyptian Museum?
- Students: EGP 920 with a valid student ID.
- Children: under 6 free (Enterprise, 2025); Arab and foreign children EGP 920.
- Residents of Egypt: foreign residents pay EGP 920.
- Visitors with disabilities: visitors with disabilities are admitted free (Enterprise, 2025).
- Compare tours properly: a cheap tour without entry can cost more than one with it. Our tours comparison shows which include the ticket.
Bring ID for any discounted or free ticket: the museum checks eligibility (GEM ticketing site).

Questions people ask
Is there a Grand Egyptian Museum promo code?
We found no official promo or discount code on the museum's ticket website in October 2026. Be wary of sites that promise discounted tickets: the museum has warned about fake ticket websites.
How can I pay less for the Grand Egyptian Museum?
Use the right category: students and children pay EGP 920 instead of EGP 1,830, foreign residents pay EGP 920, and children under 6 enter free.
Are discounted tickets on other websites real?
The museum sets the ticket price. A site offering cheaper entry than the official rate is a warning sign. In May 2026 the museum’s CEO warned about fake ticket websites and social media pages, saying more than 50 had been shut down.
