What to expect
Your guide meets you at the museum and steers you toward the standout pieces—mummified remains, jewellery, papyri—rather than exhausting every room. The commentary balances genuine historical detail with anecdotes that click for children: why Egyptians buried goods with the dead, how hieroglyphics worked, what daily life looked like 3,000 years ago. Strollers are welcome; the museum is navigable and not overly crowded on this private route. Expect plenty of questions answered and a few 'aha' moments.
Good to know
Bring water—the museum has limited refreshment options. Prams fit through all corridors. The tour finishes inside the building; arrange transport separately. Photography rules vary by exhibit, so ask your guide. Dress for indoor climate control; it can feel cool.
