Cairo, Egypt’s bustling capital, is a fascinating city where ancient history and modern urban life merge. Situated along the banks of the Nile, Cairo is known for its impressive Islamic architecture, vibrant markets, and, of course, its proximity to the world-renowned Pyramids of Giza.
The Egyptian Museum, officially the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, is one of the world’s leading archaeological museums. Located in Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, the museum houses more than 120,000 artifacts from the Pharaonic era, including the legendary treasures of Tutankhamun, such as the golden death mask and burial gifts, which are among the most famous exhibits.
In the Royal Mummy Room, you can admire the well-preserved mummies of pharaohs like Ramses II and Seti I. Sculptures and sarcophagi, from giant statues to intricately detailed hieroglyphs, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egypt.
Papyrus and jewelry, unique finds such as ancient papyrus scrolls and royal jewels, showcase the art and science of the ancient Egyptians. The museum is gradually being replaced by the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern complex near the Pyramids of Giza that will house the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world.
