We spent about an hour in the Boat Museum. The entry fee isn't bad, so that's not a factor. There wasn't much to see, but my young boys loved it. It's pretty much a handful of ropes, tools, etc., which lead up to the main reason you're there ~ the Pharaoh's boat. If you're already at the Pyramids, it's worth... More

Unbeilievable. A boat more than 4500 years old has been actually re assembled. Original ropes. Twines, meshes, oars etc still preserved. One can but just awe at it

The solar boat, its discovery, and its restoration are totally amazing. For those reasons, a look at the boat if you at Giza is a must. Plus the muesum is air-conditioned and has a useful WC. But the object itself is only worth ten minutes look, although maybe a bit more if you are a sailor.

i cant find word to describe the boat. it is amazing and shows to you how ancient Egyptians were patient and great. we are soo proud to have such museum. you have to visit it when you come to egypt

I am a Naval Architect. A person designed many well known ships. Walking around this boat, told me that we didn’t make too big progress in the ship building and naval architecture compared to pharaoh times. All the principles are same. All.. It is amazing museum and amassing discovery. A real, whole boat is there. Boat used by ancient Egyptians.... More

We had seen the museum before and just thought why would anyone place such a bad building next to the Pyramids. This time we went in to have a look. It is the first time i have ever bought a ticket to a museum with just one thing on display. Stunning is the only thing to say about it. The... More

Boat is great. The let-down is that the building its in is dated. If a little larger the view of the vessel would be uninterrupted whereas now you are a little too close at times. Worth seeing tho
