DISAPPOINTED TO SEE SO MUCH OF HISTORY LYING UNACCOUNTED, UNLABELED & GATHERING DUST. MAJORITY OF THE EXHIBITS HAVE NO LABELS. WHATEVER HAVE THE LABELS, IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO LEAN FORWARD CLOSE TO THE GROUND OR USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO READ THEM. AS USUAL TOUTS/GUIDES ARE A NUISANCE LIKE ALL OVER EGYPT. THE MUSEUM HAS NO AIR-CONDITIONING, SO DON'T FORGET TO TAKE WATER WITH YOU TO BEAT THE HEAT.
NOT GOING AGAIN FOR SURE.

this place teach me alot of information about the history of ancient egypt

I DIDNT LIKE THE FACT THAT WE COUNLDN'T FIND THE MUMMIES. THE ARTIFACTS WERE OK BUT THERE WAS NOONE AROUND TO GUIDE YOU. I SURELY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK

Really enjoyed the museum, but I didn't spend a ton of time there, just an afternoon with a guide who took us thru the museum highlights.

The museum was SO CROWDED! So don't expect a quiet museum experience - people from all over were yelling and moving thru the place.

Don't miss the mummy room!

If you are a history buff and can stand on your feet for a whole day this is the place for you. We spent a half a day there with our Egyptologist guide. The tour we took covered the basics and it was all we needed with all that we were about to see and had seen thus far in our trip. You must pay the extra $12 to get into the Mummy Room!

While this museum is somewhat difficult to maneuver due to the less-than-optimal layout, one must tour the King Tut relics on the upper floor, including the funerary mask, the two inner coffins, jewelry, and the canoptic vessels which held his organs. Additionally, much more is offered to see, but it's not all well labelled. It is best to ...
