Among the museum’s unrivaled collection are the complete burials of Yuya and Thuya, Psusennes I and the treasures of Tanis, and the Narmer Palette commemorating the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one king. The museum also houses the splendid statues of the great kings Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the builders of the pyramids at the Giza plateau. An extensive collection of papyri, sarcophagi and jewelry, among other objects, completes this uniquely expansive museum.

Mosque of Muhammad Ali
Will see the citadel from inside The outer open court contains a copper clock tower, which was gifted to Muhammad Ali Pasha by Louis Philippe of France in 1262 AH/1845 AD. Muhammad Ali Pasha reciprocated the gesture with an obelisk of Ramesses II’s (c.1279–1213 BC) that stood in front of Luxor Temple. Today, it stands in the Place de la Concorde Square, Paris.

Best Experience in Egypt
Our 3-day trip was full of fun and insightful learning about Egypt history and culture from the ancient times to present. Our tour guide Mohammed ensured we had a fantastic experience in all the tourist spots giving us thorough explanations to understand the roots of Egypt. We love our visit to the Papyrus and perfume oil shops. It was amazing to learn how the Egyptians make paper from the Papyrus plant and how they extract oils and make perfumes for different uses like for aroma,massage, medicine and perfume.

50/50
I have used this tour company on July 2023, Guide and site seeing was good, but accommodation what they provide in Cairo and ain sokhna is very BAD,
Response from the operator: We are very happy that you mentioned the tours are good and the guide is good. Thank you very much. But we only specialize in making successful tours, not accommodations. However, everything was presented to you and you were the one who chose. The proof of that is that you were taking an apartment and you did not like it. You went to the hotel. thank you bro 🙏

Coptic & Islamic Cairo, with Mohamed
Had already toured with Mohamed (through Dr. Mo's tours) a week prior, when I got to see the pyramids, and was happy to reconnect with Mohamed again for this trip. Was a choice I had to make, since I had another almost full day in Cairo, with a flight leaving for Aswan late in the evening. Had thought about Suez Canal, Alexandria, and other options, but finally decided to stay put in Cairo, and check out Old Cairo (Coptic & Islamic Cairo) with Mohamed. Good choice, and absolutely worth it. Since Mohamed was already familiar with me, the day got off to a great start with breakfast along the roadside, just like the locals (need to find the pic), and after that, it was non-stop exposure to the culture and architecture in Cairo. Visited two churches (beautiful), and a couple more mosques, and the one inside the Citadel (since we had time, and I had wanted to see the big mosque inside the Citadel). Just mind-blowing architecture, along with some amazing insights from Mohamed, made the tour a really good one. Had a little time on our hands, and got to spend time at a tea establishment in the marketplace (Khan-e-Khalili?), watching life unfold on a lazy weekday afternoon in Cairo. Was able to squeeze in a felucca ride on the Nile, and that was a welcome break, after walking around in the sun all day. Managed to get koshary (yum) and rayeb for a quick meal before getting to see the first half of the light show at Giza (unfortunately couldn't see it all, since I had a flight to catch, but what I saw was really well done, and I will have to catch the second half of the show another day). In all, was a great day in Cairo, and really enjoyed it thanks to Mohamed. His driver drove us around patiently all day and got me to the airport in good time in the evening! Absolutely recommend Mohamed and Dr. Mo tours as well, through which this was organized.
Response from the operator: Thank you, hope to see you soon for more explorations ♥

The man, the myth, Mohamed
Mohamed has extensive knowledge of the history of his homeland. That being said, it is not just this knowledge that makes him the best choice. It is his undying passion for the culture and mythology of this amazing world that he loves and embraces. He will guide you as well with a local perspective that exceeds the expectations of a normal tour guide. I strongly recommend anyone to choose a private tour with Mohamed over any other type of tour. After two days of traveling his world with him, I feel that I made a new friend, as well as learned about his amazing city and culture.
Response from the operator: Thanks. 💞💞

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old Cairo Day, professional driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
