Hire a private guideGiven the enormity of the collection the best bit of advice I can give is to hire one of the many guides that work at the museum. This is easily done as they'll approach you!!
What not to do: take 2 children under 5, the lure of seeing treasure soon disappears. The museum isn't toddler buggy friendly, there are numerous stairs to ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Treasure trove of ancient historyThis magical place was built in the 19th century to house the wonders of ancient Egypt, but the collection quickly grew too large. The process of getting into the museum, registering bags and cameras, and then being searched on your way inside is as painful as it sounds. But once inside I was rendered breathless at the huge collection - highlights ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Treasure TorveThe collection of artefacts is breathtaking. You need 2 days to see everything and take it in properly. The downside is that the surroundings don't do justice to the exhibits. The whole place is drab, the display cases are old and a lot of the exhibits are not labeled. What labels there are have been done on a typwriter which gives you an idea ...3 of 5 Yahoo!

Great Museum, but little is labeledI 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. ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue

don't forget visit it!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, ...3 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
Can't wait to go backEgyptian Museum, feels like you are going back in time. It's artifacts are awsome. Our guide gave us a great tour, and then we were on our own to explore. The museum is so big, you need a couple of days to really check it out. Hard to believe all these things were put inside the burial rooms. Didn't get a chance to see the mummy room. I ...2 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue

NOT AGAIN FOR SURE.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.
