My family and I went to the Grand Egyptian Museum, and although though some of the exhibits (such as the Tutankhamun gallery) weren’t yet open, the trip was well worth it.
The Grand Egyptian Museum was an adventure I will never forget! The collection, which perfectly combines history with contemporary presentation, is just spectacular, as is the architecture. Every nook and cranny of Egypt’s rich history is powerfully conveyed, from the imposing sculptures to the captivating galleries.
Excellent site with a very striking architectural design. Inside the pyramids, there are multiple viewpoints and photo opportunities. The entire amount of the ticket was still charged even though the tut part was closed on the day of the visit. Although the gallery has many levels and sublevels, I believe that by offering more interactive exhibitions, they could pique people’ curiosity.
Before the proper opening, avoid being overbearing.
