It was a simple but fun excursion. The museum may be small but it has a truly amazing amount of artifacts from not only the ancient Egyptian era, but also Greek, Roman, and Ottoman times as well as a small section dedicated to the Bedouins. It must be mentioned that the guide was wonderful. Unfortunately, she wasn’t allowed to give full explanations of the exhibits, but the information that was given was great.
I had an amazing time at the Sharm El Sheikh Museum tour. The tour guide, Nada was very knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. We also went to visit Old Market after. I had such as wondering time and it is all thanks to Nada who is a brilliant tour guide witch such as great sense of humour, who ever has Nada is very lucky, once again thank you Nada for being such an amazing tour guide.
This museum is great while on holiday, really good items inside but not a lot of them so no boredom perfect holiday half day out

I would have gone 4.5 if I could have, it was really good but not perfect. The tour guide was great, friendly, and knowledgeable! We started by going to the Sharm El Sheikh Museum which was great. Entry is EGP 200 each, you need to pay for you and your guide. My guide explained a few things but never came into the actual museum part with me, they remained in the cafe waiting for me. The museum was good, all the signs were in both Arabic and English, so easy to understand, with a lot of cool artefacts. On the way to the Al-Sahaba Mosque, we did stop at the drivers friends shop and I was usherd inside to make a purchase. Hence the missing what would be half star. All in all, very good, very friendly, very informative and a good experience.

It was a good tour. We spent most time at the museum, which I preferred. The guide was helpful and attentive. The old market and the mosque were also amazing.

We went to the Museum , Nada's English was very good, Nada gave us information and pointed important items out to us. The Museum was amazing, if you like Egyptian history this is well worth a visit. We were not rushed, this was good value. After the Museum trip we went to the bizarre and had the option to go to the market. Overall great morning, this took 3 hours.

I enjoyed the museum, however we had to pay 10euros to get in. I thought this included the entry fee but if doesn’t. The driver car was kind dirty abd he had a bit of an attitude.
