The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
If you travel to Cairo,then the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo is definitely a must to be visit. In a country like this, with a past full of history, culture and tradition, the reasons are quite obvious. All Egypt is there in a place made for you. Commonly known as the Egyptian Museum holds the greatest collection of objects of the Pharaonic era of ancient Egypt. The museum has more than 120,000 objects, classified into different eras of Egyptian history. In total, over 2 ½ million people visit the museum annually. Your best kept treasure is the mask of Tutankhamun. But also, you can visit the more than three objects discovered in 1500 by the English Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in the pharaoh’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Among the pieces of his tomb, there is everything. From the sarcophagus to the riches that Pharaoh would need to go to the afterlife. The museum is located in the center of Cairo, in Liberyty Square known as (Tahrir Square) which got very famous reputation specially after The Egyptian revolution 2011 . It was designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon in 1900. The building, a neoclassical style, is organized on two floors. On the ground floor there is a large collection of papyrus and coins used in the ancient world. In addition, there are statues, paintings and sarcophagi, found in the tombs of many pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. Upstairs is where lies the treasure of Tutankhamun. But there’s more. As a large number of objects remain in the warehouse, since not yet been documented. From about 600 graves, so it will be difficult to study. Note that, inside the museum is not allowed to take pictures. Camera to be collected at store room on the outer garden of the Museum

A world of ancient history
The New Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is a true masterpiece. Although it has only been officially opened I had the opportunity to enter that impressive palace full of beautiful statues and pieces from the Pharaonic era. Made by architects with absolute delicacy, this Museum is completely worth visiting.

Must visit place
Stunning expirience to see all the ancient Egypt marvels gathered at one place. You have to take a lot of time to see everything and the lines are huge, but it's worth every minute. If you are on a short few hours trip (like us), first go to the Tutanchamon floor where his burial treasures are kept. The privilege to see these items is enormous and after that you can admire anything else. The scale of the art and architecture of Egypt is massive, but I fully relized that in this museum. The only negative thing os that all the mummies are taken out of the museum with intention from next year to be housed in a new museum, dedicated for them. But however, the artefacts exhibited are worth it.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities?
+
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 The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities?
+
Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities 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.
