You probably have questions about getting to the museum, where to meet, prices and other questions.
Prices are listed but payment is done individually in the method of your choice. Registration form will ask you. This is to prevent unnecessary conversion fees from Shekels to USD, and VAT, which US transactions are excempt from, but my website is Israeli and will charge you anyway.
We are registered as a group with a special discounted rate through the museum, and that admission is included in your ticket. Memberships and other discounts (e.g. NY city resident) do not apply when registering as a group tour, and that is why the admission is included in the ticket. The Met will bill me regardless, so please respect the policy and help me uphold my good standing with the museum.
Meeting place: Near the statue of the Pharaoh in the Great Hall. That is right near the Special Admissions and Group Ticket desk, and that is where I pick up your pre-paid tickets. Only the guide can pick them up, and you do not need to wait in line at all.
