From Cairo: Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour
Day Trips
Guided Tours
The Egyptian Museum, located in the heart of Cairo, is a must-visit for anyone fascinated by the grandeur of ancient Egyptian history. Home to over 120,000 artifacts, the museum showcases priceless treasures, including the iconic golden mask of Tutankhamun, mummies of legendary pharaohs, and intricate relics from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. The museum’s unique pink neoclassical building on Tahrir Square has been a cultural centerpiece since 1902, though a significant portion of its collection is gradually moving to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. Still, a visit here provides an intimate experience of Egypt's rich heritage.

The Egyptian Museum is located at Tahrir Square, downtown Cairo, and is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. Tickets cost around 200 EGP for adults and 100 EGP for students, with additional fees for photography and access to the Royal Mummy Room. Guided tours in various languages are available for a deeper dive into the exhibits. It's recommended to bring cash for ticket purchases and souvenirs. Facilities like restrooms, a café, and a bookstore are on-site, making your visit convenient and comfortable.
The museum can be overwhelming due to its vast collection, so prioritize key exhibits like the Tutankhamun treasures and the Royal Mummy Room. Wear comfortable walking shoes and light clothing, as Cairo’s heat can be intense. Bags are subject to security checks, and large bags or backpacks may need to be stored. Photography is allowed in most areas for a fee, but flash and tripods are prohibited. Consider hiring a guide for an enriching experience.
The Egyptian Museum is easily accessible from most parts of Cairo. You can take a taxi or use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Careem for a hassle-free journey. For a more local experience, hop on the Cairo Metro and disembark at Sadat Station, which is just a short walk from the museum. Many hotels and tour operators in Cairo also offer shuttle services to the museum.
To avoid the crowds and fully enjoy the exhibits, visit the Egyptian Museum early in the morning, right when it opens. The museum tends to be busiest from late morning to early afternoon, especially during the tourist high season (October to April). If you're interested in a quieter experience, weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Allocate at least 2–3 hours for your visit to explore the highlights thoroughly.
