You can get a lot closer to the exhibits than you'd expect and really see some amazing history up close. Many exhibits, especially Tut are on tour often though, and may not be onsite when you visit.
Camera must be left at the reception near to the courtyard's entrance but you can bring your mobile with you. Lots of amazing items and just few labels: take a private guide if you want to know more.
If you can get a good deal on a private tour (you can) it's worth it here.. Nothing is marked or labelled too well and it would be easy to miss some amazing backstory on many things.
The best museum i have ever visited, the Content and the size of the things here are indescribable! Don't forget to check the mummies that needs special tickets
You'd better be ready for a long journey in the museum! Its HUGE and something that you have never seen before! Make sure you have a brochure because there are not many explanations
