About this guide

MuseumOfEgyptianAntiquities.com is an independent guide to the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square in Cairo, officially the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. We are not the museum, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, a tour operator or Viator. The site name describes the museum we write about, not our business. For official information, see the Ministry's page for the museum.

Facts here are checked against the Ministry's published hours and prices, news reports on the moves to the Grand Egyptian Museum and NMEC, and the operators' own listings on Viator, including recent guest reviews. Prices and hours change; when a listing or the Ministry and this page disagree, theirs wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when a tour's from-price leaves out the ticket, or when a listing still promises Tutankhamun's mask. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
