The New Museum is one of the best that I visited around the world. Designed to the experience to see the Piramide's outhere and to feel that you are inside of each one, looking and sharing the space with the best selection of cofers, artworks, and pieces of constructions . Each stone skin has symbols and knowledge to offer the Egyptian cosmovisión. At minimum tree hours , one stop for a good coffe, and then visit the Egyptian Boat's. Amazing. Carlos

The driver that picked us at the hotel was amazing. Nour made our day. The museum is stunning and be prepared to pass the day there. The building is amazing, and there is plenty of restaurantes and coffee shops, with amazings options. The gift-shop of the Museum is stunning. Must visit. The driver was on time to pick us up to go to the hotel.
