Grand Egyptian Museum

The driver was kind but non English speaking. Had to use Google translate. It's better to directly book your tickets and use an uber.

Be aware that this tour examines the G.E.M itself and some of the extraordinary engineering involved in its construction and what it WILL house. At the moment there are extremely limited objects for display and photography is extremely limited. Until such time as the contents of the Cairo Egyptian Museum is transferred across you will want to go there for artefacts. Once you know this then you have the correct expectations. Of course this tour grants you bragging rights that you get to see the G.E.M before it is open to the public!

I enjoyed the tour with a wonderful guide with a red hat. He was very fluent in Japanese and he told me more about the exhibits. I was happy that I had no trouble communicating in Japanese and could ask various questions casually.

This purchase is a scam, they sell you the activity as if you have museum tickets included and when you arrive they really are not and make you pay for them apart from what you have already paid for by buying this. They also refuse to give a refund of the activity knowing that it is a scam and also refuse to complete the claim sheet in order to report them. This activity and this Enterprise are scammers and instead of giving you solutions, they get defensive and give very bad Service.

The museum was great. Unfortunately, we were never told that our guide was not going to be the one to pick us up at the hotel. The car that picked us up was a mess and hardly had air-conditioning and the driver spoke no English. So the, bellman interpreted for us that he was there to take us to our guide at the museum. It was an incredibly uncomfortable ride through horrible traffic and heat in a car. We were sure was going to break down any moment. Then after the tour at the museum, we thought our guide was taking us back to the hotel but he put us back in the same car to return. It was awful

The tour guide Waleed was a nice and friendly person. He clearly communicated to us that he will provide some explanation and then give us time to further explore the museum on our own. We would have preferred if he spent more time explaining the history and talk about different objects in the museum. The museum is not fully opened (20% available). Overall we were happy with our tour and our guide.
