Is the Egyptian Museum in Cairo still worth visiting after the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum?

Yes, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir remains valuable for its extensive collection, including Tutankhamun’s original funeral mask and well-preserved mummies.

Consider visiting both for a complete experience.

What are the opening hours and best time to visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo?

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours occasionally in summer. The best time to visit is early morning at opening to avoid crowds and heat. Weekdays are less busy than weekends. Confirm current hours online before visiting, as schedules may change during holidays.
