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.

Pharaoh-worthy excellence. Welcomed in front of the 6-meter-high statue, I completed the museum tour in 1.5 hours, being disabled due to a stroke. Taxis and Ubers are right in front of the museum. Arrive at opening time for much fewer groups.

Very convenient, no fumbling of money. No queueing also just go straight and enjoy. It was curated perfectly that you understand how Egypt became what it was.

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.
