The museum is expected to attract millions of visitors annually, making it a key destination for tourists from around the globe, according to the museum’s website. Evidently, almost 5,830 trips were taken to and from the museum during March only using Uber.

     

    Coming in second on the list is the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with 13,417 trips through the Uber app. With almost 2,400 trips only during May, it marked the month with the most visits to and from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

     

    This world-renowned museum houses some of the most important artifacts and treasures of ancient Egyptian civilization, including the golden mask of King Tutankhamun. The museum has been and still is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike.

     

    Abdeen Palace Museum takes third place on the list with 4,410 trips through the Uber app. This historic palace was once the residence of the Egyptian royal family and now serves as a museum showcasing the country's rich history and culture. 

     

    The Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo takes the fourth spot on the list with 3,971 trips. This unique museum showcases the rich cultural heritage of Islamic art and includes exhibits of calligraphy, textiles, and ceramics from across the Islamic world.
