I'm an egyptologist!. The Museum it is just Superb! The lights of the exhibits are stunning. The music wonderful. The pharaonic boat has a wonderful building. Today I went to visit the one in Tahrir...I know most of the pieces by heart. Well done indeed Egypt! Annalisa Malaguti

The visit to the Great Egyptian Museum was epic, educational and amazing. I was fascinated by experiencing a large accumulation of ancient history represented in articles with thousands of years ago mixed with the most modern infrastructure I have seen today, the way the areas are organized is to recognize the care that the designers dedicated to this place. It is also to be recognized the government's vision to offer a renewed face with a first-world design to share it with humanity and make the visit an unforgettable experience. Thank you for allowing everyone to know part of his story. Egypt, thank you very much!!

The booking online, avoiding long queues in the scorching sun, made the visit very pleasant. The whole visit was memorable. The displays are organised in a very interesting way, leading from pre-pharaonic Egypt to the last of the pharaohs. But the most beautiful experience is visiting the Tutankhamon's chambers. They are just mind-blowing in their splendor.

The museum was absolutely amazing. I have been to the older museum once before. I have waited 10 years to come back and visit the Grand Museum. I was not disapointed
