Hi, this will be my first time in Egypt, and I would like to know what the best places are to learn about the history of the pharaohs. I am very interested in learning about the history of ancient Egypt, from its foundation to the present day.

I have been to Cairo for a few days and while it is a busy city, there is so much to do and see. If you find some inspirational and knowledgable guides they can make all the difference. Went to the Cairo Museum, the pyramids and did a tour of the city itself and learned so much about everything in just a day. But if you really want to dive in I would recommend doing a tour through the country. I am visual guy and like to see and experience the places where it all took place instead of just listening to stories in a museum for example.

Hi, not sure if this is too late, but I highly recommend the GEM or Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. I booked a tour, so they could explain how it’s laid out. She gave me a great history tour while we were there.

That looks amazing @Moodymel - I’ll be going there in 3 weeks! 
Did you also go to the old Egyptian Museum in Cairo? not sure if that is still worth a visit too?
