It was a great tour through the history of Ancient Egypt. We were extremely lucky to have Maged Elbehairy as our guide. He is such a well-read and polite man! He had answer to virtually any question we could come up with. Three (or even four) hours passed by in a wink. The museum has a lot to offer by itself, but I strongly recommend "guided tour" option since you can learn SO much more with the right guy. Thank you, Maged!
