Super interesante, aunque nuestra guia Asma empezó muy bien el tour y las explicaciones, pero de repente se puso a correr, porque ya estaba cansada. La visita debería ser más equilibrada entre Imperio Antiguo/Medio/Nuevo. Al Imperio Nuevo le dedicamos 1/5 parte del tiempo, cuando probablemente sea del que más información y elementos expositivos se disponga. En cualquier caso, una visita muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Super interesting, although our guide, Asma, started the tour and gave great explanations, but suddenly started running because she was already tired. The visit should be more balanced between the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. We spent about a fifth of our time in the New Kingdom, when there's probably the most information and exhibits available. In any case, a highly recommended visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

La organización bastante bien (traslados y asistencia hotel-GEM), pero la guía bastante floja, se limitó únicamente a describir de manera rápida y breve las piezas más destacadas con muy poca contextualización del museo y su contenido -bajo mi punto de vista-.

The organization was quite good (transfers and hotel-GEM assistance), but the guide was quite weak, limiting herself to simply describing the most notable pieces in a quick and concise manner with very little contextualization of the museum and its contents - in my opinion.

El gran museo es una visita obligada en Egipto, tanto por el contenido como por el edificio en sí. La guía Isra ha sido muy amable y didáctica. Es una muy buena visita para hacer al llegar al país porque te da una perspectiva completa sobre la historia y claves de Egipto. Translate this opinion into English.

The great museum is a must-see in Egypt, both for its contents and the building itself. The guide, Isra, was very friendly and informative. It's a great visit to make upon arrival in the country because it gives you a comprehensive perspective on Egypt's history and key aspects. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita fantástica . Nos fueron a recoger al hotel y nos llevaron al gran Museo . No hicimos cola porque se encargan ellos de todo. El guía profesional . Recomendable 100% igual que el contacto de administración de Civitatis en El Cairo . Nos llamo día antes para concretar todo y cumplió . Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was fantastic. They picked us up at the hotel and took us to the great museum. We didn't have to wait in line because they took care of everything. The guide was professional. 100% recommended, as was the Civitatis administration contact in Cairo. He called us the day before to arrange everything and delivered. Opinion translated.

Nos encanto la visita, fue uno de nuestros highlight de nuestro viaje a Egipto. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit to the museum with Mohamed was incredible! First, his Spanish is perfect. It's clear he's passionate about his work. He knew everything and more, and he explained everything brilliantly. He got my entire family and I incredibly interested in Egyptian history, as he told it like a story. We loved the visit; it was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Opinion translated.

Excursion perfecta, puntualidad en el hotel tanto para la recogida como la vuelta, se pusieron en contacto via wasap el dia de antes y nuestro guia Mohamed perfecto! Nos enseñó todas las salas (excepto 1 que falta por inaugurar). Un auténtico crack!!!! Recomendable 100%. Sin guia seria una locura Translate this opinion into English.

Perfect excursion, punctual at the hotel for both pickup and drop-off, they contacted us via WhatsApp the day before, and our guide Mohamed was perfect! He showed us all the rooms (except one that has yet to be opened). A real genius! 100% recommended. Without a guide, it would be crazy. Opinion translated. Show original.

It was excellent. They took us to the museum in a very comfortable minivan. The guide, Nur, was incredibly knowledgeable. She took care of getting our tickets and guided us through the museum.

Muy recomendable! El museo es impresionante. A pesar de que algunas salas aún están cerradas (ya lo sabíamos), merece 100% la pena visitarlo. Nosotros lo hicimos sin guía para ir por libre, pero recomendaríamos ir con guía puesto que es enorme, y sentimos que con las explicaciones hubiésemos entendido mucho más. Gracias a la coordinación y organización de Mostafa, que nos llevó a comer antes de la visita al museo, y estuvo siempre atento a todo lo que necesitamos! Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended! The museum is impressive. Even though some rooms are still closed (we already knew this), it's 100% worth visiting. We did it without a guide to explore independently, but we would recommend going with a guide since it's huge, and we feel like we would have understood much more with the explanations. Thanks to Mostafa for his coordination and organization, who took us to lunch before the museum visit and was always attentive to everything we needed! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente. Tuvimos un retraso en la actividad anterior (con otra agencia) y llegamos bastante tarde al museo. El compañero Momen Hossam nos dio el soporte necesario para que pudieramos reengancharnos a la actividad a pesar de que ya llegamos con el grupo dentro y lejos (el museo es inmenso) y la actividad iniciada. Essam Omar, el guía durante el museo, nos vino a recoger a la entrada y sus explicaciones nos gustaron mucho. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent. We were delayed on the previous activity (with another agency) and arrived quite late to the museum. Our colleague Momen Hossam gave us the necessary support so we could get back into the activity even though we had already arrived with the group inside and far away (the museum is huge) and the activity had already started. Essam Omar, the guide during the museum, picked us up at the entrance, and we really enjoyed his explanations. Opinion translated. Show original.

The visit to the museum was perfect, the pick-up at the hotel was at the indicated time and the return as well. I want to make a special mention for the guide Isra, she accompanied us through the museum as if we were on a trip through the world of the Pharaohs, magnificent, a 10. Thank you. Opinion translated.

14 agosto 2025 Ultimo giorno della nostra intensa settimana al Il Cairo e ultima delle 7 attività con Civitatis Il GEM imponente, molto bello e moderno Preparatissima la nostra guida che ha completato al meglio la storia di questa incredibile civiltà arricchendola con molte informazioni e aneddoti. Tristissimi di dover salutare dopo una settimana il nostro straordinario accompagnatore Beshoy Atef! Ci portiamo in Italia tanti bei ricordi di posti bellissimi e di persone straordinarie Translate this opinion into English.

August 14, 2025: Last day of our intense week in Cairo and the last of seven activities with Civitatis. The GEM is impressive, beautiful, and modern. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wonderful overview of this incredible civilization, enriching it with lots of information and anecdotes. We are so sad to say goodbye to our extraordinary guide, Beshoy Atef, after a week! We are taking back to Italy so many wonderful memories of beautiful places and extraordinary people.

Algunos comentarios que hizo el coordinador con respecto a las mujeres tanto egipcias como extranjeras fueron destinados y reflejan una imagen negativa de la sociedad egipcia. La guía daba explicaciones y pasaba de una pieza a otra con mucha rapidez. Parecía que tenía prisa por acabar.

Some comments the coordinator made regarding both Egyptian and foreign women were intended to reflect a negative image of Egyptian society. The guide gave explanations and moved from one piece to another very quickly. She seemed to be in a hurry to finish.

Una pasada de museo, lo mejor de El Cairo después de la pirámides. Es una visita imprescindible. Nuestra guía, Tocca super maja. De esas personas que se les coge cariño. Te explicaba muy bien todo y estaba siempre con nosotros. No se puede ir al Cairo y no ver este nuevo museo. Recomendable 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

An amazing museum, the best thing in Cairo after the pyramids. It is a must-see. Our guide, Tocca, was super nice. One of those people you grow fond of. She explained everything very well and was always with us. You can't go to Cairo and not see this new museum. 100% recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nada fuera de lo normal, la guía se dedicó a explicar lo que considero importante, después comento que teníamos una hora libre para visitar el museo, pero en realidad fueron 45 minutos.

Nothing out of the ordinary, the guide dedicated herself to explaining what I considered important, then mentioned that we had an hour free to visit the museum, but in reality it was 45 minutes.
