The objects are presented very well and in very good conservation conditions! Especially the pieces of the reign of Amenhotep III. fascinated us. All employees were kind and helpful! 🙏🏼
It was an experience. Not fully open yet and spent over 3 hours just looking all the exhibits. Definitely a must see!
no line, amazing tour guide and amazing museum
Magnificent, monumental museum in the image of the pyramids... Don't hesitate to take half a day (4 hours) to see it all. There are also several reasonably-priced restaurants. We personally chose the Zooba restaurant with its Mazzat Tray and freshly squeezed fruit juices.
It is an impressive museum with a wonderful collection! Some people in the security area two ladies were very rude when we wanted to inquiry about our lost item but a kind gentleman saved the situation and gave us back our item, thank you for that !!!
I loved the museum. No problem with the entrance, no queues! I missed that the audio guides only had two languages: Arabic and English. As well as the information panels of the exhibits. Why not in Spanish as well?
The museum is stunning and absolutely remarkable. The attention to detail and curation is top notch, and no expense was spared to ensure that the artifacts were shown in the best light produced by the best people in the industry. My one issue is with the Headout instructions. There's a note that says NOT to meet at the venue, then a link to a Google Map that takes you to a busy highway in the middle of nowhere 25 minutes walking outside of the museum. This is misleading and perhaps an old instruction. There's a big white sign that says "tour meeting point" by the audio pickup spot and washrooms. You can meet there. But the Headout app instructions are misleading and need to be corrected!
It's the best museum I ever visited: the building the atmosphere, the way it is structured, the level of interaction. No equals, congratulations!
SMOOTHNESS.. from the drop-off to the pick-up, the card scanning, the staff help and linguistic skills and the planning of the visit inside the Museum, just made it all memorable. The arrival by car is still incomplete long trip for U-turn to acces if coming from Cairo DT. also improving signage for drivers to show where pick-up is would help a lot.
I was completely dumbstruck by this museum, the new Cairo GEM, the most beautiful, well presented, well exposed works of milenia. The lights, the architecture, museology, even the attendants in place where absolutely incredible. Thank you.
It worked but we ran out of time to get to the GEM so we paid more than we needed. Antiquities Museum was awesome!
The museum itaelf and the shop.
This experience is perfect for
The artifacts, the nice and professional staff at the gift shop
The beauty of the objects It's a pity that more information is not given during the visit

We loved the building and how it cleverly focused on the pyramids.
Excellent architecture, spacious , well graded and sectional,variety in non Pharonic artifacts low

The best thing about this tour was the tour guide; and the handicap or accessiblity services (wheelchair), etc. It's hard to navigate in a wheelchair when in a group setting, but we did our best. I have some tips that I will be writring the museum directly. But you did a great job. And of course the GEM - Grand Egyptian Museum is spectacular and a must see in Cario.
A dream museum, entered in 2 minutes
The team over there was able to help me
There was a short 20ish minute delay from payment to getting the tickets, so please plan the purchase accordingly.
My tickets were not "ready" for use so I had to purchase tickets anyway directly from thr museum. This is terrible.
Friendly people who responded immediately to our needs. We selected the wrong date and arrived a day early at the museum and it was resolved immediately.
Useful to be able to come to this museum. I heard that 1/2 of the artifacts have been moved to the new museum in Giza. We had problem to choose the museum then. We chose this one because we stayed in the hotel nearby. Otherwise the museum was good.
Skip the lines and explore Egypt’s most extensive collection of ancient artifacts at your own pace.

Great guide, very exciting and impressive tour! Everything worked out perfectly, as agreed.
The New Museum was amazing, it is the largest museum in the world beautifully laid out and fully wheelchair accessible. Ample toilet facilities, a restaurant and shops. sadly, not yet fully open (July 2025) so Tutankamun not there yet. Up side fewer visitors and plenty of tiem to look at the displays.
Amazing exhibits in an impressive building. Quality of the info provided by the guide. Prompt access to museum.
Very nice visit. Guide very intetesting.
Modern exhibit, new pieces never seen before. Shame not fully opened yet still full price!

The guide spoke perfect English so he was easy to understand. He was able to explain everything very well. I wish the tour had been a little longer though. The best part was that the tour guide didn't drag you to a store and pressure you to buy stuff. He was literally the only one who didn't do that
A beautiful museum and easily accessible, including for wheelchair users
Every thing, it was a nice experience
Hello Amy, How is it going with our refund? We are still waiting. The Tutanchamun Exhibition was IN ANOTHER MUSEUM, where we had to pay again. So this is a scam! Greetings Julia
Waiting for full opening of the museum
There was no guided tour and no audio guide. We paid far too much. Please ask for a refund for the service not provided!
In Truth we did NOT have an experience with you. My wife booked this event and didn't notice that the date for pick up was not correct, booking #22226438. Assuming all was correct we did not monitor the email and did not reschedule in time. So as I understand it you showed up at the hotel but we were still in the USA. Thus we never went on the tour and so my comment above is invalid but I need someway to contact you about the situation. My wife has since rescheduled and paid for a new tour booking #22243419 for the correct time and date, January 5, 2025, 10 am at he Fairmont Nile City for pick up. Thank you for your concern. David B Hamilton
The car was late to pick up and the car itself was smelly and cramped. four persons. of our age did not enjoy the experience. Secondly, the audio guide tickets was not included as advertized, and so we had to rent on our own. All in all we don't intend to recommend this service to anyone.
We paid for a guided tour with a visit to the Egyptian museum and a visit to the Tutankhamen exhibit, but the guide did not show up only the driver came to take us to the museum where there was not even an exhibit, fortunately at least we did not have to buy the tickets ourselves, which was not fair.
