Great morning at the... - Great morning at the museum. Mohamed G was very informative and we learnt a lot. Recommend not start a bit later in the morning when all the tour groups leave. By 10:30am the musuem had emptied out a lot.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo was Grand! - We were fortunate to go to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo as well as the new Grand Egyptian Museum. Both museums were excellent for different reasons. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo felt like a traditional museum. Some may say it is dated, but I felt very comfortable taking my time to view the exhibits to learn about the historical background of Egypt. Our Egyptologist guide, Ahmed, pointed out artifacts, mummies, and important antiquities, with stories and information. The Tutankhamun exhibit on the 3rd floor was exquisite. Do not even point your camera at the exhibit because photos are not allowed. One viewer did, and Security made him delete his photos from his phone. We spent about 2 hours and got a nice overview. Some may want more time to explore and take in everything that this important museum has to offer. You will exit through the row of museum shops and kiosks that offer a variety of Egyptian merchandise. This was one of our first few days, so I did not purchase much. After experiencing the haggling at markets, I wish I had purchased more things here! Outdoors, there are a few casual eating places. We went to one for coffee and chicken shwarma-- cheap and delicious. There was no restaurant name, maybe "Onaty"?

Cairo Museum Tour - Lovely time. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was on time and we did not feel rushed. We learned a lot about things we would not have on our own.

A great afternoon at the museum! - What a fantastic tour! Zizou was informative, friendly, and lively. He had a thorough understanding of the history, hieroglyphics, and culture and an infectious passion. He was so sweet with my 70-year-old mother and patient with my many, many questions. From the very beginning, he was proactive with communication and arranging pickup and drop-off. We genuinely enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend his expertise!

Fabulous museum tour with brilliant guide - I had a fabulous tour today with my guide Mohamed Gomaa. He was incredibly polite and courteous, and very knowledgable, prepared to answer all of my questions, no matter how stupid! Probably also worth noting his English was absolutely excellent and he was very easy to understand. I would definitely recommend the tour, and especially Mohamed.
