Wow the egyptian museum is well worth seeing. I was totally impressed by some of the stuff in there, especially the things on the floor of King Tut's treasures, i can't beleive they got all those things out of his tomb in Luxor, it amazes me to think it al fitted in there.

A must see, but bring your own museum map
By shaunalucas, 10/22/06
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 ...

get a map
By jdtjernl, 07/28/06
The whole museum is set up where you need a tour guide to explain the objects in the museum since ALMOST NOTHING is labeled. Tour guides cost about 50 EP for 1 hour tour. Get a tour book of the museum and a map layout of what is shown inside.

Good stuff!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 04/18/05
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!

Amazing place but so disorganised
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/27/07
The Egyptian museum is one of the most amazing places to ever visit. It is completely packed with so much history that you get the impression that they don't know what to do with everything. It felt very disorganised, there were bits of artefacts here there and everywhere, but nothing seemed to be in order. Some areas were off limites and ...

Great Museum, but little is labeled
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/24/07
I was impressed by th level of security at the museum. I work in an industry where security should not be noticed, and that was certainly the case. Knowing what to look for, it was quite amazing. The King Tut museum was breathtaking. Seeing his artificats made the entire trip worth it. I ould definitely recommend the room of the Royal Mummies. ...

don't forget visit it!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/18/07
Back to the history, yes, but to the histery too. Of course, I liked it, because once there, is like all that I had read and seen in books or documentals were in front of me. Whas a pitty that the Mommies room was closed -nobody said why-. I dislike how it can get crowed in some minutes. I missed some chronological order in some room. Of course, ...

NOT AGAIN FOR SURE.
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/08/07
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.
