The GEM is absolutely massive, so we opted for a guide rather than our usual choice of an audio tour — and what a stroke of luck it was to have Manar!
Highly qualified in history and related subjects, Manar has an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge. She brought the museum and its treasures to life, and was able to answer all of my husband’s many questions — no small feat! She was also a genuinely lovely person to spend a few hours with, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. For lunch there were options to suit all tastes.
A quick shout-out too, to Abdo, who drove us around safely and kept us well supplied with bottled water throughout the day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend both Manar and Abdo.

Ask for Kryllos, he's the best tour guide in Egypt!
What a wonderful experience we had with Kyrllos and Mahmoud today! We wanted to see the Saqqara pyramids, the GEM and NMEC and Kyrllos made it all possible! He is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist, with vast information that made everything more educational and interesting all at the same time! We couldn't ask for a better guide than Kyrllos. Mahmoud was such a gentleman, always patiently waiting and opening doors for us, making sure we get to our destination safely and comfortably. Thanks so much for showing us what we've only thought of seeing only in our dreams!

Amazing Museum!
GEM as the name says it was a Gem. After walking through historic places in Hobson, this was a perfect ending, indoor and conclusive of what we saw. Our guide Maniar was in time. We arrived at the museum 15 minutes before it opened. She pointed out structural and architectural details of historic significance before going inside. Loved King Tut galleries. The best for us was the solar boat exhibit. Over all educational tour. I would recommend her.

The GEM Tour
My friends and I had a very wonderful experience touring The Grand Egyptian museum. Yasmeen, our tour guide was so awesome. She’ very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. She let us go in our pace but still able to explain everything. She also took a lot of pictures for us. She’s an excellent asset to the company. A big thanks too also to the driver who was very patient and helpful (I’m sorry, I forgot the name). We’d highly recommend both of them.

Exceptional Guide – A Fantastic Experience at the Grand Egyptian Museum
Our visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum was made truly exceptional by our guide, Kyrllos.
His expertise and knowledge were second to none. He didn’t simply walk us around the exhibits and tell us what we were looking at — he brought the incredible history of ancient Egypt to life, providing context and helping us understand the significance of what we were seeing.
His route through the museum was thoughtfully planned and perfectly structured, allowing us to build a clear understanding of the different dynasties and how Egypt’s extraordinary history developed over thousands of years. No matter how many questions we threw at him, Kyrllos was always able to provide a knowledgeable and fascinating answer.
Beyond his expertise, Kyrllos was incredibly personable, friendly and great company throughout the entire tour. His enthusiasm was infectious and made what could have simply been a museum visit into a genuinely memorable experience.
We would thoroughly recommend Kyrllos to anyone visiting Egypt. He is exactly the kind of guide you hope to have when exploring somewhere with such an incredible history.
And if we ever make it to Luxor, we will absolutely be asking for Kyrllos to be our guide again!
Thank you, Kyrllos, for helping make our visit so special. Highly recommended!

Wonderful GEM Experience!
We did the GEM with Ayoub and it was so nice, he was very knowledgeable and just fun to be around! The place was huge so it was nice to have Ayoub around to show us everything and the cost was definitely worth it! Would definitely use his again to visit as the place is so huge! :)
