Very elegant well maintained place with needed services and very cooperative stuff. The museum is an experience you must have in Egypt, you’ll see something that’s not in any place elsewhere. The mummies partition is really majestic. The space design is matching the monuments inside in a complete harmony to help you enjoy each step of your trip. The space is not too huge to make you feel tired yet not too small to be meaningless, just perfect. I’m really project of this place in Egypt. The only downside that it needs more cafes or restaurants specially around the lake.

Beautiful and modern museum. The Royal Mummies exhibit is well done. No pictures allowed of the mummies. The rest of the museum has a few nice pieces. Not very large but well worth seeing.

Magnificent new museum, a must do when you are here. It has a beautifull collection of the old days but also of the newer days. And a unique collection of Royal Mummies, you must see.

Excellent tour guide that is friendly and knowledgeable, better than others we had in Egypt Samar showed us around Luxor (Kings Valley, Queens Valley, Karnak Temple) and has been giving us very helpful information on the history, religion, culture of Egypt, better than all other guides we had in Egypt

Samar is she wonderful guide and l love her . She about to me the best in a this field ( tourism ) ❤️ in hopes she achieves all the her wishes

This is a newer museum that reflects the various cultural aspects of Egypt’s rich history through adopting aesthetically and technologically advanced methods. It was not as crowded as I had expected it to be. Lots of great items.

What a wonderful 2 days in Luxor with this amazing guide. Samur was very knowledgeable and also very patient with all our questions. Excellent English made a huge difference. I highly recommend Samur for an all round good experience.

Wonderful guide Samar with an impecable English, all the needed information and a sweet maner. Really enjoyed our time with her.

It was absolutely amazing! totally worth having a guide, so many informations!!🤩 our guide samar did a perfect job! she knows everything about luxor and egyptian history!! she was very flexible and made the best out of our short stay! highly recommendet!! 🙏

I was in Egypt 9 years ago and this museum was not here. What a great place. So much to see, including the mummy exhibit on the bottom floor. It was a shame my guide could not come with me to this part of the museum, I am sure she could have shed so much light on what I was seeing vs. just reading about them. There were various places to see everything from those mummies to clothing worn by various ages to excellent tools under glass. The museum was very crowded when I went but it had a big airy feeling to it vs. the claustrophobic feeling you get from so many other museums so I did not feel rushed or overwhelmed by other tourists. There was only a few times when there was a group in front of something and I could not get close enough to see it. Give yourself 2 hours at least to see everything. The area outside the museum is very pretty and you would never know you were in a major city like Cairo.

The museum is worth visiting. Lots to see, things Americans cannot image the age of. Given that it is the NATIONAL museum, I was appalled at the state of the restroom. Absolutely filthy. Stuff your pockets with toilet paper before you leave your hotel and hike up your pant legs while walking in the stalls. No soap nor paper towels so sanitizer by the pint is a good idea. Enjoy the museum. Only use the restroom if you must. Real mummies and we saw King Tut’s display.

Very do able in 2 hours or so. You do not get the "overwhelming" museum claustrophobia like many older museums. Surprising , not a lot of walking involved. Nice gift shop, however, only pay station was open and taking several currencies. Inspecting bills to make sure they were "new". This caused paying to be a extremely slow process, folks on large tours gave up in frustration. Very nice overview of 4,000 years plus. This is NOT the Egyptian Museum in downtown and soon to be located near pyramids.

SPLENDOR IN EGYPT Review of Oxen of Egypt Samar was our guide for the temples of Luxor, Karnak, and Habu as well as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Nobles and a variety of sites between Luxor and Abu Simbel, including the Aswan. Samar’s open and joyous personality (and humor) alone made the tour thoroughly enjoyable, and her knowledge and presentation elevated the excursion to a higher level. She conveyed information in impeccable English. Her mastery of Egyptian history is expansive, enthusiastic, and not only includes description and interpretation but a deep appreciation of the art. She was tour guide and art docent but quickly also became a friend. Samar was sensitive to the group’s needs, providing an immersive experience of Egyptian life while still affording us “free” time to do things on our own or relax. She negotiated with vendors to ensure that we bought souvenirs at a fair price. She brough her joie de vive to the occasion and ensued that we fell in love with Egyptian culture and cuisine. Frankly, Samar became our favorite tour guide across our many years of travel. Visitors who engage her services will be lucky indeed.

A REVIEW OF OXEN OF EGYPT TOURS Through our many travels, my wife and I have learned that no matter how grand the destination, a superb tour guide will bring a destination to life and make a trip that much more memorable. Such a guide is Samar. Her warm, open personality (and humor) alone makes the tour thoroughly enjoyable. But it is her knowledge and presentation that elevate the excursion to a higher level. Her English is impeccable and full of nuance that makes the tour more intimate and less rote. Her mastery of Egyptian history is expansive, enthusiastic, and not only includes description and interpretation but a deep appreciation of the art. She was tour guide and art docent but quickly also became a friend to us both. Samar lives life enthusiastically and her joy is infectious. Samar guided us through the Luxor, Karnak, and Habu temples as well as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Nobles. She joined us as we cruised the Nile on a luxurious Dahabiya and visited the temples at Abydos, Dendera (not to be missed on any visit to Upper Egypt), and Kom Ombos. We stayed in a Nubian village at Abu Simbel, perhaps the most majestic of the ancient structures. Samar was thorough yet afforded us “free” time to do things on our own or relax. She negotiated with vendors to ensure that we bought souvenirs at a fair price. She enjoyed the delectable foods of Egypt with us at every meal, bringing her joie de vive to the occasion and ensuring that we fell in love with Egyptian cuisine. And she willingly discussed modern Egyptian life with the interested tourist. We highly recommend Samar as your tour guide in Egypt. And lucky will be the visitor who follows our recommendation.

I had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Samar visiting Luxor sites. She is the perfect guide! So knowledgeable and Truly passionate which comes across in her delivery of the history and the stories. She speaks perfect English, is warm, friendly and witty. Her pace of delivery is excellent allowing time to look around and to take photos. Samar also gave advice about the does and don’ts whilst in Egypt, taxi prices etc. I would highly recommend Samar to anyone visiting Egypt and will definitely be arranging other tours on my return.
