Among the few major archaeological museums in the world, the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo is a must-see for all lovers of history, professional or amateur. Housing more than 120,000 items from the vast collection of antiquities from Ancient Egypt, this place opens one’s eyes to a lot of its history and cultural heritage that one would hardly have heard about in other civilizations of such antiquity. It also holds an impressive array of items, from intricate jewelry and pottery to monumental statues, including the so-called treasures of Tutankhamun.
Inarguably, what makes the Egyptian Museum most enthralling is its unparalleled assortment of royal mummies and objects from the grave of Tutankhamun. It houses the treasures of the young pharaoh, including his gold mask, ritualistic tools, and ornamental jewelry, which all point to the affluence and skillful workmanship of the ancient Egyptians. In this museum, there is also a hall for royal mummies, where visitors can see the ingenious way people in ancient Egypt preserved their dead rulers. Every display represents a story and brings to life the beliefs and activities of a civilization that once flourished a thousand years ago.

Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID-19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a year of
In April 2011, my husband and I, after great debate, took a trip to Egypt. Because of the political situation, we decided to book a tour for our time in Cairo and Luxor. We are very happy that we did, since these are two cities that should not be missed.
Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
After a rocky start (the driver had been in an accident on his way to pick me up,) the company very quickly sent another driver/guide named Mohammed, who was a real pro. Thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Egypt!

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.
We believed that 6 days would not be enough time to see everything. It felt like we did a 12-day tour in just 6 days. Hamada did a fantastic job of showing us around his stunning country. Highly recommended.
It has always been my dream to visit Egypt. This was a beautiful tour, almost two years later, I can’t stop thinking about my time in Egypt, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor! I was able to add an eighth day to see Abu Simbel (a
It was one of the best decisions we made to use this company for our Full-day trip to Wadi El Hitan and El Fayoom Oasis. I give them 10 stars.
