Try to go as early as possible because the museum is huge. Literally it can take you a whole day to see everything. In fact if you go choose to do two days. Wear comfortable walking shoes...

It is actually not finished.

Our personal guide, Mahmoud Emam, had a plethora of information. But it was his passion of his Egyptian history that was so impressive. We so appreciated our this tour and recommend it and hope you’re lucky enough to get Mahmoud.

Parking was available in the adjacent parking lot which made access easier. We visited after the pyramids at Giza and while there were lots of visitors it was still easy to find our way through. Museum is poorly curated and poorly lit. Many items have been removed to the new museum and hopefully will be better displayed. It felt like a time warp and old museum with lots and lots of treasures but more of a warehouse feel.

5/5 - Excellent

Give yourself plenty of time to explore this amazing museum! I absolutely loved strolling through ancient history and learning more about the pharaohs. Don't miss the mummy museum!
