Egyptian Museum

Tour Itineraries

You will be picked up from your hotel by mon ami TRAVEL tour guide and transferred to the second most frequently visited and certainly one of the most important attractions in Cairo
The Egyptian Museum, you will find the fabulous collection of King Tutankhamun and monuments from all periods of Egyptian history, from the pre historic era to the Greco-Roman period.
First built in Boulak, in 1891 it was moved to the Giza Palace of "Ismail Pasha" which housed the antiquities that were later moved to the present building.
Housing 120,000 Egyptian artifacts, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo attracts millions of visitors each year. The highlights for most are the rooms containing the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamon. His 6 gold gilded coffins, each one smaller and more intricately decorated than the last, dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the must-see item of the day.
The Royal Mummies Room (with additional cost) is another highlight of the Egyptian Museum. Here you can see the mummies of many great Egyptian rulers, including Ramses II, the builder of the temples at Abu Simbel. Throughout the rest of the museum you will find countless Egyptian artifacts dating back thousands of years. Your guide will introduce you to the most important pieces before allowing you free time to explore at leisure.
It is a private tour which allows you to determine the amount of time to spent for each display.
You also will have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how this famous artwork is made and have the chance to purchase genuine items if you wish. If you do not want to include this visit, just inform your mon ami TRAVEL representative or guide.
After you finish your tour in the Museum, you will be transferred back to your hotel
