Wonderful, beautiful museum

Leslie_L, Mar 2026

Terrific new museum....I was surprised about the amount of succession information that was exhibited with the mummy collection. A perfect cap to the temple and tomb sightseeing in Aswan, Luxor et al

Good for what it is

Daniel_S, Dec 2025

This tour is on the lower price end compared to similar offerings and does a good job for what it is. I was mostly tired of dealing with Cairo taxis and Ubers and wanted a no stress way to visit the museum. This tour met those requirements. The tour operator is very efficient in communications and scheduling. There was a tour guide and separate driver which seemed a bit excessive for a visit to a single museum. The guide was friendly but did not speak English all that well and had limited knowledge. It wasn't really half a day. The museum only takes a hour and a half or two to visit. The Museum of Egyptian Civilization itself is well worth a visit. I'd recommend doing it toward the end of your Egyptian trip. Seeing the royal mummies was more interesting after seeing their temples and crypts and hearing all of the stories. The pre-dynastic collection also fills in some gaps of the other museums.

Great day with Asmaa!

Simply amazing!! The mummies! We truly enjoyed our day, lovely guide Asmaa and our driver— got us to and from our hotel. The Museum holds such treasures ! Has delicious lunch at local restaurant and did some shopping. Asmaa was a delight — so knowledgeable, giving us the details about the Museum and its exhibits. A must do!!
