Top Museums in Egypt

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!

my advice is to bring a water bottle because the museum can get kinda stuffy inside and you won’t want to waste time looking for a café. staying hydrated makes the visit so much better!

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.
