Egyptian Museum

Getting There - I used an Uber to get here and bought the ticket myself and explored the museum myself . This is a sign for you to trust Uber when in Cairo . Attractions - Very ancient Artefacts that go way way back , they are very beautiful and well preserved . The most beautiful one for me was the clear see through coffin that was used to bury the kings , it was covered in cold and many beautiful colours. Hotels - I stayed at the Al Masa hotel , which is beyond lovely . Food & Restaurants - I did a walking tour of Cairo city centre and got the opportunity to taste some local food . Shopping - You can spend some time at the museum to buy some small gifts for friends and family in the museum shop . #visitegypt #cairo #travel

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.
