Things to do in Grand Egyptian Museum

I was impressed with the museum’s exhibitions. I spent 5 hours in the museum itself. Recommend to rent an audio guide at the museum so that you can get more interesting information. My favorite would be King Tut’s exhibition hall which you could see all the treasures from his tomb displayed here.

Shady was our tour guide for the 2nd time. He was very good at storytelling and pointed out the highlights of the museum. It helped us appreciate the museum better!

I recommended this tour if you are solo and want to see Pyramids and GEM in one day. Nada is amazing, pretty and kind guide. I was able to see the pyramids and she waited patiently when I entered Khufu pyramid.

Great way to see a lot in little time. The tour comes with both a driver and a tour guide and our guide - Ayman - was great at telling us the stories behind the pyramids, finding a lunch spot to our liking, getting us to the highlights of the museum. He has excellent English and a fun sense of humour. He and the driver were very flexible with pickup and drop off locations and times, and were able to modify the tour on the fly as needed. I would definitely recommend this tour for someone who doesn’t want to deal with separate admissions tickets or any stress finding their way around Cairo’s top attractions.

Had a very good tour with Samar. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge regarding the pyramid and ancient egypt history. She picked all the highlights to show, which was just nice to enjoy the grand museum.

We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Tawfik! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole day. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, but also kept the tour fun and enjoyable. We never felt rushed, and he was always happy to answer our questions and make sure we were comfortable. His friendly personality really made the experience even more special, and we felt very well looked after from start to finish. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable! 🇪🇬✨

It is truly, truly fun. You cannot take personal photos while riding, but they record front and side videos with a GoPro. However, they say it takes about 10 business days to receive the footage.
