The skip-the-line ticket allowed us to discover this museum, which is truly extraordinary!! First, you feel very safe because there are numerous checkpoints. In addition, it is huge, with several areas where the artworks are highlighted by the simplicity of the walls and the appropriate light intensity. The gallery dedicated to Tutankhamun is simply fabulous because you discover splendid gold objects!! I was amazed by the entire museum because you are blown away at every gallery. And the solar boats are also extraordinarily well preserved!!

Wow and wow!! What a wonderful experience at the GEM. Ticketing and access was so easy. The magnitude of the museum and the amazing Ramses 2 statue in the the Grand Hall was a great entry into the collection. The quality of the artefacts, interpretation and staff assistance was excellent. Go early to beat the crowds and if possible, have this expedience at the end of your Egyptian travels, it'll make it even more memorable.

I had the best time and enjoyed every single moment of the day, my advice is to visit the museum as early as you can since it's quite big and has alot of galleries and you will have to walk and take it all in without rushing, also the tut ankh amoun gallerry was the best! Regarding the night cruise dinner, it was a stunning experience and we loved it ! Food was good and the vibes and staff, everything was great.

A great experience with our guide Reda: he brought the pharaohs and deities of ancient Egypt back to life for us! And thanks also to Omar, our driver, who skillfully maneuvered through the Cairo traffic! We highly recommend them.

The tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum with our English-speaking guide was very good and interesting. The museum is so huge and spacious that we really enjoyed being guided through it. Unfortunately, the pickup was 20 minutes late. The time we saved from waiting in line was lost again to pick up other tour participants. So, all in all, there was no real time savings. Furthermore, two other museums were added at the end, which were actually sales pitches. At the second stop, we told the guide we would rather go back to the hotel, which he did immediately.
