The museum hosts an unrivaled collection of 5000 years of art, unique to Egypt, regarded as the most vast and invaluable in the world. More than 250,000 astonishing artifacts are displayed here, including a special exhibit featuring Tutankhamen’s collection of treasure, gold, and jewelry that remained hidden within his tomb for over 3,500 years until its discovery during excavations in the 1920s.

Visiting Cairo with kids in friendly atmosfere with Abdo - Our second trip with Egypt Royal Tours (first one was Giza pyramids). Our tour guide was Abdo. We did all we wanted: museum, Coptic Cairo, Citadel, Mosque. Had nice lunch in local cafe. No stress, in our own pace, as we were travelling with a 3 year old. Abdo was very helpful, accommodating to our needs. Nice driver, clean van.

A true VIP Experience. - My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic day. First and foremost we felt 100% safe. Secondly, the Egyptian museum was breathtaking. Our guide did a fantastic job explaining to us the history of ancient Egypt. Next up was the Coptic Christian churches. once again our guide, explain to us what we were going to see and then it was brought to life during the tour. truly amazing. We had an exquisite traditional Egypt lunch, and then we went and saw the Muhammad Ali mosque. This was our first time ever visiting a mosque, and again we were both mesmerized. We would highly recommend Egypt Royal Tours, and the Tour Guide who we call Sugar Queen for a true VIP experience. You won’t regret it and you’ll be glad that you did.
