Grand Egyptian Museum

Tour guide was 3 hours late. Museum was empty. Had to book my own transport. Tour guide lied about when they would pick up.

A large building for a museum with, in my opinion, little significance.

You enter a central hall. There are many shops and places to eat and drink here.

You scan your ticket and then you can climb the (escalating) stairs. There are various statues on the steps. You don't see a sarcophagus or other things.

They also show a 4D movie, which is nice.

It is currently undergoing pre-opening in early January 2024, but the main exhibit will be the archaeological museum.

A few items in the archaeological museum are being moved and packed, but I think it will be several more years before everything is relocated.

The tour was an amazing experience that covered a lot of true Cairo street food. Karim was a delight and was very willing to answer all of our questions. He was even willing to add an extra stop because I wanted to try some sweet potatoes. Ahmed was a very skillful driver that took us safely for our hotel to the old town and back. I would 100% recommend it!

I went in a food tour with Ameer along with visits to the Islamic mosques and khan el Khaleeli. It’s was a unique and immersive experience into the city’s hidden treasures

I often go on food tours when I visit new places since the food tells so much about the people and the place. This tour did not disappoint in anyway. The food was interesting and my only complaint could be that there was too much of it. The guide, Haytham, was what made the tour much much more than eating interesting food. He clearly loved sharing his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Egypt. I would definitely recommend this tour and any tour that Haytham is leading. As a side note also enjoyed watching the skill of our driver. How the organized chaos of Cairo traffic flow remains both fascinating and terrifying.

Mohamed Talat was exceptional! I truly couldn't have known about these places without him, or gotten around Cairo without him. I actually tripped and fell in the streets and he came running to my rescue haha (it was very funny, I am okay!) He was extremely sweet, polite, and all around wonderful to be around. We needed to be elsewhere at a sooner time, and he even adjusted the tour times for us so we could make it to our next adventure. If you do this food tour, please book it with him! We had wonderful conversations, especially about Game of Thrones! Such a sweet guy. Thanks so much Mohamed!

Took this tour solo with Mohammed Goda. He did a great job of introducing me to the staples of Egyptian food and walked me around downtown Cairo. Great way to get your bearing in new city and introduced to local food. it is different then Asian street food tours (not as many stops) but still very recommended.

Amazing tour from Ahmed Eletter he took me for local food tour in Cairo not quite in the city centre because my flight was delayed but he managed it very well he's took me to proper local restaurant and Finnish the tour with mint tea near the airport.
