What our customers are saying about us

  • An amazing experience and only made better by our fantastic guide Manal, she was an amazing Egyptologist and really helped us to understand the true history of Egypt, not just ancient. The museum was great although you can’t see all of the exhibits at the moment due to the move to the new unopened museum
