Arrive 30 minutes before the slot on your ticket. Bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable, valid only for that date and time, single entry. The show uses lasers, flash and loud music. GEM says it is unsuitable for epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing lights. Personal photos and video on a phone only. Flash, tripods, selfie sticks, drones and livestream are banned. Groups and travel agents write to booking@gem.eg. Schools write to learning@gem.eg. The shop also sells optional dining timed before or after the slot. Confirm add-on prices at checkout.

Alexandria Desert Road, Giza. Buy the Eternal Sun product. A daytime gallery pass is a separate ticket. Pick the night on the official calendar. Saturday and Wednesday the museum complex already stays later. On other weekdays the galleries close at 18:00, so the slot you buy is the one that matters.
