    A place that will walk you through the history of the beloved Egypt. From the ancient to the modern times. It touches on all the Civilizations that Egypt was through in different ears and times. It's like a time travel tunnel that will take you through a rich historical journey through the time. Most wonderful part is the Royal Mummies walkthrough area, you'll get amazed by those deceased yet mummified Kings and Queens. The place is amazing, accessible, not crowded, organized and reflects our rich history. Worth visiting.

    Most Awesome. It was unbelievable. Very modern and extremely beautiful museum. It is one of Cario's newest. The highlight of this museum is the 24 mummies on the lower level. I guarantee you have never seen anything like it. Something I will always cherish. The mummy room has information about it each mummy as you follow a guided path to view each chamber ( room) it is not necessary to have a guide. You can read about the different Kings and Queen from the articles on the walls or purchase a headphone narration. The upper floor has the traditional museum type artifacts. It is very nicely designed in one large floor so you don't miss a thing. You can move about easily. There are shops and restaurants in the museum and a view to die for. I highly recommend this museum. Must see. No photos allowed in mummy room.

    The best experience. Amazing place.. amazing employees. No hustling. Nothing shady. All legal and by the law. Perfect for a family visit..my daughter enjoyed it a lot. Wish the rest of the amazing historical sites in Egypt followed these rules. Hats off to the Egyptians government for making such a monumental achievement.

    This stunning museum is a testament to the creativity and focus of Egypt and its people. A mere 1,500 objects are so well labeled and displayed that they tell the rich story of one of the most ancient of civilizations. The special Kemet kids play area requires separate admission but do check out their crafts programs and movies if you are with kids. All ages will love the airy space, shops, cafe and air-conditioning too! Don't miss the Mummy chambers which will awe anyone who has toured the country's major sites and seen the monuments and tombs created by these late rulers. Great experience. Allow at least 2 hours if you are not with a guide.
