Any museum worth its salt has an Egyptian wing or exhibit, where visitors can see hieroglyphic texts and ancient mummies, but in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, located in Cairo, visitors can lay their eyes on the world’s largest collection of pharaonic artifacts.

With over 100 halls filled with exhibits and items dating back to prehistoric eras, this museum covers over 5,000 years of history within its 160,000-item collection. Guests can see royal mummies, statues, some of the legendary Tutankhamun’s treasures, and so much more here, with information offered in both Arabic and English.
