Visit the National Museum of Egypt in Cairo

“The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is a fairly new museum in Old Cairo, it opened just five years ago and covers everything from pre-history to more recent times in a relatively compact collection. It's easy to recommend a couple of hours here, its got an interesting selection of unusual artifacts and is really nicely laid out and well designed. Now the one thing I cant share is the highlight, which is their fantastic collection of royal mummies and coffins. This is in a separate level of the museum and no photography at all is allowed. 'Lawful good' as I am I didnt sneak any photos [...] It's completely fascinating!”
