The experience concludes in a traditional tea house, where you’ll unwind with a glass of mint tea (shai bel na’na’) and, if you wish, enjoy shisha just like the locals.

“Visit to GEM”
Our driver collected us spot on time and we met our Guide Osama who we can highly recommend. We had an extremely informative tour of the main parts of the museum, learned so much history. He then showed us the restaurants for lunch and then offered additional short tours to the perfume, spices, papyrus etc but we declined as our day was so interesting .
