• Aturan

  Timed tickets at the big museums

  The Grand Egyptian Museum sells dated, time-slotted tickets and the Tutankhamun galleries are a separate one; the Giza plateau has its own online ticket and shuttle. Buying at the gate is the slow way in. Sumber ↗

  Three or four days off that empty the offices and fill the north-coast road, the trains and the parks. Sites stay open but are busy with Egyptian families, and hotel rates rise for the week. Sumber ↗
