The Egyptian Museum Cairo half day tour

I was fortunate to tour the GEM Museum with a wonderful guide Reham and driver Mustaff. Reham was an excellent guide. She was very friendly and had excellent knowledge of the museum. She took many beautiful pictures that will be treasured memories. Such an amazing complex that Egypt can be very proud of. Mustaff manoeuvred through the Cairo traffic extremely well. Thank you Reham and Mustaff. You made this memorable experience a complete pleasure.

My guide's name was Hany and he was excellent! He picked me up via taxi from from my hotel and when we got to the museum he first explained the exterior design. Then we went in and Hany started with the earliest history and we worked our way to the later history and Tutankhamun. His knowledge was vast and he was really friendly. He was happy to answer my relentless questions so hats off for that! I learned a lot, mainly the crucial role that symbolism played in ancient Egypt. After the museum we went to a papyrus shop where I saw how the papyrus plant gets turned into durable scrolls and was g

I was staying in a hotel near Tahrir Square and could walk to the iconic Egyptian Museum and spend almost half a day. The museum contains a rare and unique collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts, relics, treasures from great Pyramids, jewellery, mummies, historical items and classical symbols. There is admission ticket. Signages are excellent and informative. There is also a shop at exit point selling authentic souvenirs, books, mementos and many items to cherish the memories of the great and ancient Egyptian civilization. It's better to visit early in the morning to avoid crowds.

Die Organisation mit Abholung am Hotel und der schnelle Zugang zum Museum waren sehr gut. Die Führungg sollte 3 Stunden dauern war aber nur 50 min hektisch unverständlich und lieblos. Die Deutschkenntnisse des Führers waren für die Erklärung der Exponate ungenügend. Um Punt 10:00h hat sich der Führer verabschiedet. Danach haben wir das Museum noch ca. 1,5 h selbst erkundet und dabei anderen deutschen Reiseführern gelauscht. Schade hätte schöner sein können, das Geld für den Führer hätten wir uns definitiv sparen können.

Recommendable place to see greatness of Old Egyptian Kings. I just got astonished of the Art of mummification in Old Egyptian civilization and of course coming back in my next visit to Egypt !

Impressive collection of old antique artifacs. Mumies and Gold objects from ancient Egypt. I would have liked more descriptions in english, it was less than 50%, although the most important things does have english descriptions. Go early to avoid crowds. The Gold treasure of Tuth Ank Amon is on the first floor in a room by itself and includes the mask, casket and jewels. The casket is made with 110 kilo of gold! They have a good museum shop too.
