Marco is absolutely amazing! He has a calm and charming demeanour - highly recommend! He has a masters in Egyptology and is currently doing his PhD…what else can you ask for?!?!?

Our guide, Nashat, was amazing. He is the most knowledgeable guide I have ever had in Egypt and provided an incredible amount of detail. I previously visited this museum with a different group but I learned so much more with Nashat. This museum has great displays (including King Tut items) even with everything moving to the new museum. I highly recommend visiting here and booking this tour.

Excellent guide. Water is required in case of high heat. And the round trip provided by car is appreciated. All that is missing are tips and their exact amount not to be forgotten.

A compliment to the GEM Disregard comments suggesting this museum is old and dirty. Restoration underway and a wonderful collection. I recommend a guided tour. Our guide Hassan was amazing. An egyptologist and experienced historian. Great day
