Although not completely open yet - it’s well worth seeing the various galleries. Will be a unique museum in the long run when king Tut arrives !

My guide Samaa Atef met me at my hotel on time with a driver and took us to the Great Egyptian Museum in Giza. She explained each of the monuments including the hanging obelisk and giant Ramses. The building itself is amazing to regard. There was no book or video about this award winning amazing museum structure. She encouraged me to try some unique local dishes in the Egyptian cafe.

The tour organizer Mariem was very pleasant and responsive handling all details very efficiently. Our Egyptologist David was very knowledgeable and gave us much valuable information not only about the GEM but life in modern Egypt. We enjoyed the tour very much and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the GEM prior to its full opening. Additional kudos to our driver who was absolutely fearless in the chaotic Cairo traffic but drove very safely.
