Private Half-Day Tour: The Legacy of the Egyptian Museum (Tahrir)

Private guided tour to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. Explore King Tut’s treasures, Royal mummies, and other artifacts from the oldest museum in the world. Door to door transfers.

Experience the Heritage of the Egyptian Museum

The modern world is moving toward the new museums in Giza. However, this historic landmark in Tahrir Square remains the soul of Cairo’s archaeological heritage. The building dates back to 1902 and features a beautiful Neo-Classical design. Today, it houses over 120,000 artifacts. These objects tell the foundational story of the Nile Valley. Therefore, a visit to this site is essential for any true history lover.

Discover Ancient Treasures with an Expert Guide

You will explore the galleries accompanied by a professional Egyptologist. Consequently, you will discover the treasures that remain the pride of Tahrir. For example, you will see the incredible Gold of Tanis. These rare silver and gold pieces showcase the wealth of the later dynasties. You will also view the exquisite Yuya and Thuya collection. This display features perfectly preserved chariots and funerary furniture. Finally, you will stand before the world-renowned statues of the Old Kingdom. These masterpieces represent the very beginning of Egyptian history.
