Top Museums in Egypt

Arrive around 2 PM if you can; it was less busy and allowed me to enjoy more time with each exhibit. Plus, the afternoon light through the windows was beautiful for photos!

I highly recommend visiting on a weekday. It was way less crowded making it easier to admire those stunning jewels without a ton of people around. Trust me it’s way more relaxing!

I thought the audio guide was worth the extra cost since it gave so much context. But if you prefer, just read the signs carefully—some are really detailed and super informative!

If you’re on a budget, consider skipping the small gift shop; I found their prices a bit steep. Instead, try local markets nearby for unique souvenirs at way better deals!

Bring a drink and a snack! The museum can get tiring, and the last thing you want is to leave just to find refreshments.

If you're taking photos, be aware of the lighting in certain rooms; some areas can be a bit dark. Just don't miss the impressive outdoor exhibits!

Try to visit on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds; I found it so much easier to explore at my own pace when it wasn't packed.

If you're heading to Sand City, I'd say go in the early morning, around 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and the heat, plus the sculptures look so much more vibrant in the morning light! Trust me, it'll make a big difference for your photos.
