Before You Book the Egyptian Museum in Cairo: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, the old home of Egypt's treasures, is cheaper and older-fashioned than the new Grand Egyptian Museum, and many of its star pieces have moved.

In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one, whether that's a quiet Friday or a busy weekday afternoon.
