The museum is interesting and informative. But you need to take into account that it is better to visit as close as possible to the opening, so that there are fewer people. We were with a guide, we liked the tour and the exhibits. In some places, you can't take photos, which there are special announcements about. There are almost always a lot of people around the key expositions, but if you wait, you can seize the moment and photograph the exhibit without people.
I want to draw attention to the fact that the toilets in the museum are FREE (but the No tips signs are almost always covered by the wide backs of local residents). At the entrance, they give you a paper and tell you that you will give the money at the exit. In general, I gave them Russian tens, which shocked the local young ladies, but it's money, because during the trip it even became a bit insulting that you have to pay for a FREE service for everyone except tourists.

An interesting, ambiguous impression of the museum. The old building, the somewhat shabby halls, the slightly outdated design of the exhibitions, but everything overlaps with the impression of the exhibits. Tutankhamun - fire!Apart from the pharaohs' mummies and Tutankhamun's treasure, the most important artifacts are located here. Narmer's palette, which is also one of the first exhibits that a visitor sees when entering the museum.
There are still a lot of interesting things in the halls of the museum. I think if we get a chance, we'll definitely visit here again.
