Egyptian Museum Holidays

The Egyptian Museum’ in Cairo contains the best collection of pharaonic antiquities in the world. All the artifacts were moved to the current building in 1902.

The museum holds approximately 160,000 objects, covering 5,000 years of Egypt's past. You need to give yourself at least a full day to try and take in all the wonders of this amazing attraction. 
 
Marcel Dourgnon designed the museum in a neoclassical style and the museum boasts a whopping 107 halls filled with artifacts. From the prehistoric through the Roman periods, with the majority of the collection focused on the pharaonic era. 
 
One of the most fascinating parts of the museum is the amazing mummified remains of Pharaohs and their queens – 27 in total! One of the most iconic finds in 1922 was the tomb of boy-king Tutankhamen (King Tut). There are 3000 pieces, including the famous gold funerary mask and coffin, the shrines and tomb furniture which almost outshines anything else in the museum.
 
If all the amazement of the museum has taken it out of you, then take a walk to the nearby Tahrir Square. When entering the square, you will find a marketplace offering a variety of items from food to jewelery.
 
The ‘Egyptian Museum’ is a must when deciding on a holiday to Egypt and no visit is complete without a trip through its galleries.
