A wonderful and detailed tour around an absolutely huge museum. I was pleased to find that the air-conditioning around the museum was fantastic. Our tour guide took us up the grand staircase, explaining the history behind the artifacts every step of the way, then let us into the main museum, where he explained the details behind all of the artifacts. Learning about king tut tomb was a highlight and seeing the burial mask made of solid gold was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

Definitely recommend this tour, an easy experience with an in depth look into Egypts history that you wouldnt get on your own. Abdul was an awesome guide, his knowledge and passion for Egyptian history was second to none!

Abdu was an amazing tour guide. He was very helpful during the pick up and drop off to the museum. He had an answer to everything, very good at explaining the different periods of ancient egypt, the new museum is really cool and a beautiful building. The Koshary at the end was a lovely way to finish the day. Thanks Abdu!

Perfect trip, I only wanted to visit GEM with transport provided, Ayat who was my guide was excellent - she helped me with pictures and talked about Egyptian history in a simple way just like storytelling which fits my taste! Ayat also allowed me enough free time to explore the museum on my own which again what I hoped for before going onto this tour! She brought me to a local koshary restaurant which was perfect and the food is fantastic! 10 star

Like most museums, more than you can see in one visit. Everything is displayed well and you can get close to everything. Abdu the guide was very knowledgeable and was fun to spend time with. Nassar the driver navigated the tricky traffic like a pro, and had a few funny comments to share. The meal and the restaurant Abdu selected for us were wonderful.
