What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the designated checkpoint 15 minutes before start time. They'll brief you on the layout and security rules—certain gallery spaces require silence, so your guide will explain the protocol as you approach. From there, you'll move through the museum at a conversational pace, stopping at major works while your guide unpacks the history and context. After the guided portion wraps, you can stay and explore independently as long as you like. The three-hour option adds a focused exploration of Egyptian antiquities, including mummy displays.
