Lets get the good things out in the open. Tickets worked perfectly and the BEST time to go is before the hordes are taken through in waves by flag waving guides. The building is futistic and modern but the staircase is pretty inaccessible to the infirm and many of the statues are not named. There is plenty of space around each exhibit. The boat reconstruction was probably the most interesting. And the bad.... well, terrible signage with far too many assumptions. There is no clear flow of time and little or no information on how, when or where exhibits were found. The moving staircase is horrid with sudden change to elevation, particularly on down sections. The shop is poor value with ghastly, tacky souvenirs and overpriced books Would I visit again? Yes, again first thing. Would I engage a guide? No. Totally unnecessary for anyone with an interest in history. Save your money for a guide to the Pyramids and choose as small a group as possible

The Great Egyptian Museum at Giza is an architectural marvel and a dream come true for any history buff. The modern and airy spaces offer breathtaking views of the nearby pyramids. The biggest attraction is the complete Tutankhamun collection, displayed together in one place for the first time, along with thousands of previously unknown artifacts. The superbly crafted interactive exhibition and perfect lighting will draw everyone into ancient Egypt. It is an unparalleled cultural experience that is worth experiencing for yourself.

I have enjoyed a lot the Crystal Nile Cruise trip as it was well organised and easy steps to follow . I loved the entertainment program and the variety of culture and musical/dances that envolved the audiences. Food was really delicious, clean and fits many different styles. My best wishes to you all for such a wonderful experience ❤️❤️❤️

The cruise was a fun time. The food was good, and the optional wine, beer, and cocktails were very good. Service was prompt and attentive. The city views from the river at night are beautiful. The entertainment is lively and the guests really enjoy it. Highly recommended.

The GEM portal is notoriously awful. Headout secured the tickets with next day tickets 🎟 which worked a treat. Slightly more expensive but it works! GEM is the most accessible, well organised and exciting museum we have aeen...ever!

Overall, everything went well. We had no issues with the tickets, whether for access to the pyramids or the museum. The app simplifies purchasing tickets, but unfortunately, it is much cheaper if you go through the official websites—still a €50 difference in total for us.
