The Egyptian Museum.

The Egyptian Museum is the one of the oldest archaeological museum with the largest collection of antiquities in Cairo. It is a historic landmark in downtown, which makes it really easy to get there either by taxy or walking if you stay in nearby hotels. The collection is huge so you might want to spend three or four hours if you want to read specific details. It is a big place, colourful and with a beautiful architecture. After the visit, you can also enjoy some shopping or nice food as there are many restaurants and shops around the area. This museum is home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces that you must see in person. It opens to the public everyday from 9am to 7pm. #createwithtrip #egypt #cairo

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.
