Usually on a tour involving hieroglyphics your guide tells you what he has been told they say, on this tour Nasr actually reads them to you as he is a trained Egyptologist. He was incredibly knowledgable but never blinded us with too much detail (which can get boring) and steered us though all the extensive and amazing collection. The tour lasted longer than stated (2hr45mins) but he had checked at the beginning that this was ok with us and left us feeling we got good value for our tour.

We had a wonderful guided tour: the guide was a very kind and smart man, extremely prepared both on the specific content of the museum as well as on the entire History of Ancient Egypt, he read Hieroglyphs impressively fluently and was eager to share his passion, enthusiasm and knowledge with us. Even the children (aged as young as 9) listened and followed him with enthusiasm for over two hours.

Eccellente, la guida è stata molto esaustiva e ci ha raccontato anche degli aneddoti che con una normale visita non avremmo colto. Anche le letture dei geroglifici ci sono piaciute e ci hanno stupito immergendoci ancor di più nell’Egitto. Davvero un grande grazie alla guida perché senza di lei tutto questo non sarebbe stato possibile. Davvero davvero preparata e ottima
