Customer Reviews
Incredible museum. Seeing a 35,000 year old human bones is incredible. The farming tools that ancient civilization used are also on display. It's a brilliant museum that goes through the history of Egypt from the Pharoahs to the Romans to the Ottomans. In the lower level they have the mummies of the ROYALS. Including all 4 Ramises & even Queen Ohmose Nefertari mummy. It is incredible the skin lips & hair are still on these mummies. I was surprised at how small these ancient people were. My hand is bigger than Queen Nefertari whole head. Its a little creepy but still breathtaking. I was very fascinated by the astrological clock. From the 8th century. I was thinking about the bell tower Astrological clock in PRAGUE SQUARE AS I LEARNED ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR ASTROLOGICAL CLOCK. You can find more videos from my trip through EGYPT on my YouTube channel @jealousmuchlol
Worth visiting..the Royal Mummies display is amazing. The rest of the museum is a journey through different eras from prehistoric till mid 1900 the arfacts are well presented. While being there make sure to pass by the shoping center it is near to the cars parking spots.. i found few shops (4) not overpriced and offer good sovinears perfumes and even traditional sweets packed..i bought few ..worth checking. For reservation you can do it either on line or on site. As usual if you are visiting try during week days as in weekends can be crowded
Excellent place! No crowds at all. This is the home to 22 Pharoah Mummies. Little hidden "GEM" that doesn't get nearly enough attention! We loved it here. Also nice view from the coffee shop, lake etc. We spent the whole afternoon here.
