    National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Discover Egypt's History Under One Roof Begin your tour at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, located in the historic area of Fustat. Unlike museums dedicated exclusively to ancient Egypt, NMEC presents Egyptian civilization across different historical periods. The museum provides an opportunity to understand Egypt as a continuously evolving civilization. Your guide will explain how Egyptian culture developed through: • Prehistoric periods • Ancient Egypt • Greco-Roman Egypt • Coptic Egypt • Medieval Islamic Egypt • Modern Egypt
    The Royal Mummies Meet the Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt One of the museum's most famous attractions is the Royal Mummies Gallery. The collection includes royal mummies from ancient Egypt, offering visitors an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the rulers of the New Kingdom and other periods. Among the famous royal figures associated with the collection are: • Ramesses II • Seti I • Thutmose III • Hatshepsut • Seqenenre Tao • Amenhotep II Your Egyptologist will explain the significance of royal mummification, burial traditions and ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.

    From Ancient Egypt to Modern Egypt One of the most interesting features of NMEC is its broad chronological approach. Instead of focusing on one period, the museum demonstrates how Egyptian civilization continued to develop over thousands of years. This makes it particularly useful for travelers who want to understand the connections between the ancient, Coptic, Islamic and modern periods of Egyptian history.
    Optional Museum Exploration Depending on your interests, your guide can focus your museum visit on specific areas. History lovers may prefer a deeper discussion of ancient Egypt and royal mummification, while families may enjoy a broader introduction to Egyptian civilization. Because this is a private tour, the pace can be adapted to your group.
    Citadel of Saladin Discover Medieval Cairo's Great Fortress After the museum, continue to the Citadel of Cairo, also known as the Citadel of Saladin. The fortress occupies a strategic position on the Mokattam Hills overlooking Cairo. Construction began under Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, better known in the West as Saladin, during the medieval period.

Before You Travel to Egypt

A quick checklist for a smoother arrival and more comfortable sightseeing.

Choose the season that suits you

October to April is usually more comfortable for long sightseeing days. Summer can be very hot, especially in Luxor and Aswan, so plan lighter schedules, shade and water breaks.

Check entry rules before you fly

Visa eligibility depends on your passport and can change. Confirm your requirements through Egypt’s official e-Visa portal or the nearest Egyptian embassy before travel.

Carry Egyptian Pounds

Cards are useful at many hotels and larger businesses, but small EGP notes are practical for tips, small purchases and everyday services.

Use sealed bottled water

Drink sealed bottled water and keep extra water with you during sightseeing, particularly on warm days and longer excursions.

Dress for heat and local customs

Light, breathable clothing, comfortable shoes, sun protection and a light layer are useful. Modest clothing is respectful at mosques, churches and traditional communities.

Know when to bargain

Friendly bargaining is common in bazaars and souks. Prices in fixed-price shops, hotels, restaurants and official ticket offices are generally not negotiated.
