    Useful to be able to come to this museum. I heard that 1/2 of the artifacts have been moved to the new museum in Giza. We had problem to choose the museum then. We chose this one because we stayed in the hotel nearby. Otherwise the museum was good.

    There was a short 20ish minute delay from payment to getting the tickets, so please plan the purchase accordingly.
