Meet some of the most famous people in history!! I was deeply moved. - I had time on the day to go sightseeing in Cairo Giza and Luxor and return from the Cairo airport, so at the suggestion of my guide, who had helped me with my travel up to that point, I decided to make a quick visit with him. I'm glad I visited. There were a lot of interesting exhibits on the ground floor, but most of all here is the display of over 20 mummies in the basement (although unfortunately you can't photograph them). I've seen so many pyramids, tombs and stone statues, but I'm not sure I'll ever come face to face with them at the end of my trip! Ramses II, Queen Hatshepsut…these guys I’ve seen so much in Giza and Luxor!  The last time I happened to visit here was at the end of the trip, but the last time I came face-to-face with him was another touching experience.

A summary of Egyptian history - It is a Museum with a different way of showing the history of an ancient country: brushstrokes that allow us to analyze and present different issues of the cultures of each era. It is essential to go with a guide to understand the sequence and details that each showcase shows. From the pre-Pharaonic period, the different stages of Pharaonic Egypt, the Greek and Roman periods, the emergence of Islam and the reconstruction of modern Egypt. An eclectic, educational and entertaining way to explore this rich history; You can find a tool, a piece of jewelry, a piece of clothing, even prostheses and medical instruments for dentists of the time. Added to this is a central hall, with a cylindrical screen where a colorful projection of this same historical compendium is made. And as icing on the cake, the collection of recovered mummies of pharaohs and their wives, I understand all from the New Kingdom. It is fascinating to see the preparation they received thinking about eternal life, an entire civilization focused behind a religious vision. In this sector you cannot take photos or give explanations.

Unmissable - Less known than the historic Cairo museum and the brand new GEM, but essential for those who want to deepen their knowledge of Egyptian culture and see the over 20 mummies transferred here.

Impressive - The museum is sensational and very full. There is a collection of mummies underground where photos are not allowed. On the ground level the exhibition is sensational. The tip is not to go with a guide or agency. Go alone, there are things to amaze anyone for about 3 hours.

A deeper dive into Egypt's history - A brilliant museum which gives an insight into so much more of eygpts history. There was a wonderful exhibit on the fabrics made in the area which was fascinating. The highlight is still the Royal mummy collection and this was laid out in an atmospheric way as if heading underground to see them in era order. Had lunch with a lovely view over the river.

Worth the visit - The museum is excellent. It has beautiful pieces. And it houses the mummies found in tombs spread across the Egypt. It's worth a visit, even though I don't like mummies!

Fabulous! - Amazing. This museum is such a good teaser for what the Grand egyptian museum will be! The layout is perfect it is not too crowded but also shows off some of the most interesting pieces of not just ancient Egyptian history but also Christian and Islamic history too! The hall of royal mummies was such a crazy thing to behold. Some of the mummies were so well preserved that they still had their eyelashes. No photos are allowed in the royal mummy area, but i think that is a good thing it is a peaceful place for them to be observed respectfully

Safety pin - Magnificent museum, which has the collection of the Royal Mummies as well as exhibiting sensational archaeological pieces. It is worth visiting and it is not as crowded as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Highly recommended.

Nice but organized a bit badly - Nice museum very interesting, there are archaeological finds, tombs, sculptures, there is also the famous golden mask of Tutankhamun, too bad that the objects seem put a bit 'at random and that there are several empty cases, should be reviewed a bit'.

Unperishable! - An indispensable visit for those who like museums and history. Oo museum is extremely modern and was inaugurated in a pompous ceremony with parade and everything else. It is very worth knowing its modern and air-conditioned facilities, the collection of mummies at the bottom can not be photographed by visitors, I suggest that you reserve at least three hours for visit and it is indispensable in my opinion the presence of a guide
