The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is over 100 years old. It contains so many Egyptian treasures that a new museum is being built closer to the Pyramids in Giza to house and better display all the treasures. It can be very crowded, so try to go in the afternoon. It is open on Thursday evenings from 5-9 pm and that is the best time to go because there are no crowds. I suggest you use the tour guide group "Walk Like An Egyptian" they are well respected, respond to emails quickly and are very knowledgeable. Going to the museum with a guide who can explain the importance of what you are seeing will greatly enhance your experience. There are so many treasures in this one building that you could spend months and never see them all. This is a certain"must do" even if you do not think you like museums you will like this one. The basic ticket does not include the Mummy Room, that is extra. But you will still see many mummy's, even if you do not pay to go to the Mummy Room. You will also see King Tut's treasure.

    A must-see to Cairo, built in 1863. Tickets are cheap, showing artifacts from thousands of years, as well as statues of Pharaohs, mummies, Egyptian artworks and Egyptian living utensils.

    Very nice museum that is worth going to. Highlight is definitely the room with King Tut’s tomb, but you’re not allowed to take pictures in it.

    This museum has so much to see inside that even if you spent 3 days there, it would not be enough! So much to learn and see, so much to take in, the history and the culture - all inside a lovely museum!

    The Egyptian Museum is located on the east bank of the Nile River and is one of the world famous museums in Cairo. The museum was officially opened in 1902 and houses many precious artifacts from the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh era. Egyptians used to call it the Pharaoh Museum.

    It feels so-so, but this is the ancient Egyptian civilization, if you like it, it is still very good.
