Thomson Celebration, Cairo Museum

[fastnloose]

Can anyone tell me the current cost of visiting the Mummies' Room in Cairo Museum? Is there a reduction for children? Many thanks

cost of visiting the Mummies' Room, its probably the same as the other toilets....................:D:D

I have googled it for you and on 1st march it was 60LE to get in the museum, and a further 100 LE to get into the mummies room. One of the forums did not think it was worth it, but that of course is upto you

Very useful quote in response to a first post by fastnloose. I hope that the other 100 of your posts haven't stopped 1st timers posting again even if it was in jest.

I must admit I thought your comment was funny, Smee!! I don't think it would upset anyone....

Hi Smee

 

I agree with jenny wren. I thought your comment was very amusing. I certainly wouldn't have taken offence at it.:p

Many thanx for your help

I am glad to help. It is very easy to lose track of the original thread in these columns. Your request was straight forward and the answer was too. there is a wealth of info here for newcomers like ourselves, long may it continue

I recommended Fastnloose to this site as they are newbies to cruising, ( this was the first time they have used a forum for anything, being fairly new to the internet as well) they are a little worried that they have may have booked something that is not good and they might not enjoy. So they have asked a straight forward question and received a reply which indicated to them that Cairo and museum is filthy and they have made a huge mistake.

 

Perhaps a welcoming note before answering with twaddle would have been more appropriate.

I don't think Smee meant it in that way at all.

 

I read it to mean that the Mummy's room is like saying The Little Boy's Room (toilet).:rolleyes:

....There's always one ain't there............:):)

I thought when you paid for your 'day trip' everything was included in that cost, or am I wrong? Do you pay seperately for any place/building that you want to see as you enter same?

Hi,

Normally they tell you if you there is an optional extra charge to do something.

But the excursion details on the Thomson's site does not.

But it was the same for us on The Royal Caribbean excursion there in June.

Not everyone wants to visit the mummies and there were mummies lying about in the general museum area. The time in there goes so quickly anyway and it was so hot and crowded we were glad to get out.

When we went with Thomson, the entry fee into the Cairo Museum itself was included in the price of the excursion. However there is an optional supplement to visit the Royal Mummies which wasn't included within the price.

 

We didn't visit the mummies as there is loads to see in the rest of the museum and we wanted to spend time looking at Tutankhamun's treasures which are vast and worthy of closer attention.
