Outstanding experience! - There are many items about Egyptian pharaohs such as Ramses II, Tutmos III , Hatshepsut etc. all happened 4500 years ago! There are more than 90,000 pieces of searched collection, which are displayed on two floors. The stunning Tutankhamun gold face is also hidden in the museum. At that time, the three oldest cultures in the world, the Greek culture was developing to reach at its peak, the Chinese culture was still in the era of legend, and Egypt had appeared rich and exquisite literary works. Out of the obsession with resurrection and eternal life, Egypt's rulers left mummies and a large number of burials, unintentionally cutting willow, leaving a large number of artistic treasures for mankind. A single artifact unearthed at Tutkamon' tomb was enough to marvel at the world.

Cairo Museum & Giza pyramids tour - It was really valuabl;e to have a fully trained Egyptologist as a guide. Rasha yehia Mubarak was very easy to understand, responded to questions, and seemed to have exhaustive knowledge of Egypt's vast history. She is to be rtecommended.

The area around Coptic Cairo and Khan Al-Kahlil - Hamada was a wonderful knowledgeable and friendly tour guide/driver. Since it was just my husband and I he made suggestions and we were able to extend times or choose too. A lot more to see than just the Pyramids. Greatly recommend it.
