The Egyptian Museum, Cairo
 - a short introduction

In Cairo, one of the "must see" places is the Egyptian Museum in the middle of town. This museum is filled with so many objects and treasures from Ancient Egypt that it becomes a mixture between gigantic storage rooms and a unbelievable museum.

Standard tours offered give you normally a bit more than an hour visit which includes major parts of the museum and the treasures of TutAnchAmon.

With more than 120000 object in the collection we recommend a somehow different approach...

In Egypt its more important to have time to see what you visit rather than trying to see everything. For the huge collection at the Egyptian Museum we often find following "technique" the best:

Visit the museum twice! The first time have a good Egyptologist guide for a round through the whole museum (and make a note when you see something you want to look closer at later). Then go and have a break, the garden café at Nile Hilton just some meters away is a good option here. Having relaxed and maybe looked in some of the books you purchased inside the museum bookshops, then go back to the museum without a guide. Use your time, you will not regret it!

Egypt Information

Luxor is a rather small town compared to Cairo and Alexandria. Still, no place on this planet can you find so many monuments gathered at one place as here. One normally needs more than a package tour to be able to enjoy the city and see a fair part of what is found here.
