National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Tour in Cairo

This private National Museum of Egyptian Civilization tour is a 4-hour visit to the museum in Fustat, Old Cairo, best known for its hall of royal mummies. You decide what is included, from a car with driver only to a package with guide, entry tickets and lunch.

What you will see

The main gallery tells the story of Egypt from prehistoric times through the pharaohs, the Greco-Roman and Coptic periods and the Islamic era, using objects of daily life, writing, crafts and religion. The highlight for many visitors is the Royal Mummies Hall, where mummified kings and queens of ancient Egypt are displayed in a dimly lit, quiet setting. It gives a very different perspective from the larger collections at Giza and Tahrir.
