Information:
One of the biggest crowd-pullers is located in the heart of Cairo on Tharirplei, the Egyptian Museum. The stately museum, designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon, opened its doors at the beginning of the 20th century. Nowhere else in the world can you see and admire so many objects from the time of the pharaohs together in one building. The museum is home to more than a quarter of a million artefacts.
The most important object is Tutankhamun’s death mask which is still fully intact. Some other key pieces you really must have seen are the death masks of some pharaohs, various grave goods buried with them and the mummy portraits.
Opening hours:
The Egyptian Museum is open every day of the year from: 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM.
