Visit The Egyptian Museum

One of the first Middle Eastern archaeological museums was constructed, the Egyptian Museum, by Khedive Abbas Helmy II in the centre of Cairo in 1901. The Museum’s two floors are filled with fascinating artefacts from the Predynastic to the Graeco-Roman periods (5500 BC to 364 AD).

It houses a mysterious collection of artefacts that honours the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under a single king, including the whole burials of Yuya and Thuya, Psusennes I, the riches of Tanis, and the renowned Narmer Palette. The great monarchs who constructed the huge pyramids at the Giza plateau, Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, are represented by mythical statues at the museum. The Museum also contains an extensive collection of sarcophagi, papyri, and jewellery, among other significant objects, showcasing the majestic history and culture of ancient Egypt.
