This is a must visit museum when visiting Cairo and having an experienced Egyptologist with you like Hosney will make the experience even better. Definitely worth your while :)

Hosny is the best possible guide you can find! He organized a full day of museum and sightseeing, we were always in the right pace and he was all day keep an eye on us and trying to give us the best experience we could have. I will definitely book with him on my next visit.

Hosny did a great job of explaining Egypt history timeline without getting overly detailed. He was helpful in going where our interests were.
