Is the Sharm El Sheikh Museum worth visiting, and can you visit independently?

TL;DR

The Sharm El Sheikh Museum, near Hollywood Sharm El Sheikh, can be reached independently by taxi. A visitor found it worthwhile, especially before a Cairo visit, but English is useful because exhibit labels were in Arabic and English and no audio guide was available.

What the community said

You can visit independently by taxi rather than joining a tour. One past visitor enjoyed the collection a great deal, particularly as an introduction to ancient Egyptian history before visiting Cairo.

Plan to read the displays yourself: exhibit labels were available in Arabic and English only. Visitors who do not read English may find the visit less informative.
