5.00This museum is amazing, the building is as impressive as all the exhibitions. Our guide Omran is so knowledgeable both on the history and on the museum and therefore took us to the important and interesting. It really is too big to take everything in in one trip.
Perfect.

5.00Our guide at the Egyptian Museum was truly exceptional and made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we stepped inside the Egyptian Museum, their depth of knowledge, passion for history, and engaging storytelling brought every artifact to life. They didn’t just walk us through exhibits—they transported us back in time. The way they explained the treasures of Tutankhamun, ancient burial practices, and the significance behind each piece made everything feel meaningful and easy to understand, even for those new to Egyptian history. What stood out most was his ability to tailor the tour to our interests & needs, answer every question with patience, and share fascinating details you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and you could tell they genuinely love what they do. If you’re visiting Cairo, I highly recommend taking a guided tour—especially with someone as knowledgeable and personable as this guide. It turned a visit into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you Mina
Mina the magnificent!

5.00Best guide ever! Mina is brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, and an incredible storyteller. He made our private guided tour of the GEM an unforgettable experience. From hotel pick-up throughout the museum, and then taking us to an out-of-the-way grilled meat restaurant for the best Egyptian food, everything was excellent. His communication was great, his photography skills are unmatched and he made us feel so comfortable all day. If you want the best of the best, request Mina!
Mina was fantastic! Highly recommend!!
