Egyptian Museum excursion

Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is situated on the famous Tahrir square at the bank of the Nile.

The building itself celebrated already 119 years!

Let's have a tour around its halls before the museum moves to another location and remember the old monument how it was in the past, when just built and filled in with ancient artifacts.

No Egypt tour is complete without a visit to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

You could spend a month in this vast, fusty and cavernous museum and barely scratch the surface.

Let's discover the most important groups of objects displayed in the museum: the jewelry of Queen Ah-hotep; the mummies of some of the 18-20th Dynasty kings and their coffins hidden in the Deir el-Bahari cachette in Thebes; the funerary equipment from the tomb of Sennedjem and his family; mummies and coffins of the priests of Amon found in Deir el-Bahari in 1891; artifacts from tombs of the Middle Kingdom found at Dashur in 1894; artefacts from the tomb of Prince Maherperi; royal mummies found in the tomb of Amenophis II; the funerary equipment from the tomb of Yuya and Thuya; artefacts from the tomb of Tutankhamon discovered in 1922 with more than 3500 pieces; artefacts from the tomb of Hetep-heres mother of Khufu; artefacts from the Amarna period made for Akhenaten; monuments from the tomb of Hemaka at Saqqara; objects from royal and private tombs at Tanis; artifacts discovered in Giza, Saqqara, Helwan, Aswan, Nubia, Sinai and other sites; a collection from the royal palaces; and a unique Animal Mummy hall prepared by Salima Ikram now open to public.
