The Egyptian Antiquities Museum: The Egyptian Museum, or The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, located in Cairo, Egypt, is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and one of the largest and most important museums of ancient history in the world.

The museum has a vast collection of Pharaonic antiquities, including items from Tutankhamun’s tomb, showcasing Egypt’s rich history and culture. Founded in 1858 by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, it features about 120,000 items, though only a small fraction is on display due to space limitations, covering periods from prehistoric Egypt to the Roman era.

It is a popular destination for tourists interested in history and archaeology.

Great layover Tour!!

I had an excellent layover tour with Hani. He is knowledgable, fun, and passionate about his city. I went for a tour of the pyramids, sphinx, and to a papyrus factory which were all great. Ask him any question about Egyptian history and he will surely know the answer! Also
