Great museum, worth going but… - This is an awesome museum! We really enjoyed our time there! We spent an afternoon there after spending the morning at the great pyramids. (The walkway better the pyramids and museum was under construction still - not sure when it will be open). Wish we had a little longer but we saw as much as we could. There is definitely enough to last you a full day there. There are a lot of food options (you are not allowed outside food expect for baby food) and different shops as well. The one of disappointing things was that the museum was still under construction and not finished. The biggest issue I had with the museum was that it is targeting foreigners with families to come. While we were there I saw multiple moms (including myself) trying yo find a place to nurse our babies. This was frustrating because when I asked where the nursing room was they told me to use the bathroom floor. That was not an acceptable option and for bring a new modern museum targeting families they need to be more family friendly and have nursing rooms. There is plenty of space to do so. On a side note - if you buy your tickets on the ministry of tourism website you may receive the wrong date (date you buy not booked). Which happened to us, so we called prior to leaving home and the ministry said it was fixed. It was not and we had a little issue trying to enter. Luckily we did not have to buy another ticket but just a word of caution. This is truly a “gem” and worth spending a day there!

A modern museum everyone should visit - The museum is a masterpiece of architecture. Make sure you buy your tickets online (€30 for adults and €15 for children, approximately), as there is no possibility to purchase them on site. In the ground floor the visitor admires the colossal statue of Ramses. There are numerous restaurants and cafes at very affordable prices, such as the "Zooba" and a very modern museum shop. The 12 main museum halls are in 4 levels that you can go by an escalator and the best part of the museum is the treasure of Pharaoh Tuttanghamun, whose tomb was found untouched. His gold burial mask, the two daggers, the sarcophaguses and numerous other burial artifacts are truly amazing. The king Khufu boat museum is just next to the main building and is worth visiting to see the two original reconstructed boats from 2500 b.c. (currently only one is fully restored). You will need between 3 and 5 hours to go through everything, so it is big, but not bigger in collections than other known museums. The environment is wonderful and there's a view of the nearby pyramids. The staff is OK, but I would expect them to speak English and not make useless remarks. Starting early from the top is a good advice. The museum was not very crowded on a weekday and it surely worths a visit.

The best museum - The best museum in the world It was such a great experience walking through the museum with a private guide It was a dream come through

Historical yet modern - Artefacts dating back centuries mixed with new technology to see how this stunning part of the world was created is both inspiring and magical. The items themselves need no introduction but the guides make sure to give you each detail necessary. I’m not a history buff by any means but I did thoroughly enjoy this.

Amazing tour with our tour guide - I bought tickets at the museum. They give student discount. We went with our tour guide. Our tour company at Egypt is Hashtag (check my reviews for more details). Guide Ahmed was very nice he explained us very well. We enjoyed our trip and my son has leg injury so they provided wheel chair. This museum is wheel chair friendly for disabled person.

Great guide to a magnificent museum - Once confusion over the tickets caused by Viator's outdated documentation regarding the redemption point was overcome, we had a fabulous visit with Nurin. The museum is a magnificent building, and its contents are well displayed. It would have been hard work without Nurin, who was an excellent guide. The lunch is probably not necessary as part of the overall package, but it was not an issue.

From the vibrant energy of the city to the sheer scale and grandeur of the museum - every aspect of this experience exceeded my wildest expectations. But what made it truly exceptional was exploring the galleries with a knowledgeable and engaging Egyptologist guide. Their depth of knowledge and gift for storytelling completely immersed me in the ingenuity, artistry, and spiritual beliefs of ancient Egyptian civilization. I was in constant awe, marveling at the technological feats, intricate hieroglyphics, and exquisite craftsmanship of the artifacts, particularly the stunning Tutankhamun collection. The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece, a stunning setting that does justice to its priceless holdings. This entire experience has ignited a deep passion within me, and I know I will return to Egypt time and time again to continue unraveling the mysteries of this remarkable culture
