This was advertised as a four hour experience. I. was picked up in time just after 9am but waited with the tour guide Jasmine for about 15 minutes for the driver who was doing other business in the hotel. The journey time was about 20 minutes to the museum. By 10.45am my tour had ended and we were exiting the museum. I wouldn't recommend a guide. I felt there was more to see but i wasn't able to do so. So go alone and spend time wandering around maybe with an audio guide if available.
We booked the wrong museum but the company was able to fix it on the spot and take us to the other museum. Even though was all our misdoing. Our guide Shams was great. Helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating.
Incredibly rewarding and surprising! A special thank you to our guide and our driver who have been very caring with us 🙏🏽
no photography allowed in mummy section. Not really a problem as a book is available to purchase. Overall a worthwhile visit.
The driver was very friendly. Even stopped at a great coffee shop before we went to the museum. The museum was amazing! Really enjoyed the experience.
This museum is the coolest! The highlight of course, is Mummy Hall. Incredible! They have several mummies. Must see!
