Your tour guide will pick you from your hotel to the museum, which consists of more than one hundred rooms, has many rare exhibits, so it will take more than one day to examine and study everything. First, when visiting the museum, the impressive size sculpture of Amenhotep III and his wife Tia is striking. Next is the hall dedicated to the dynastic period.
But greater interest will be caused by the well-known treasury of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, discovered by archaeologists in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings and located in eight halls of the museum. This is the only Egyptian tomb, which was found almost intact and retained all valuable items, accounting and transportation of which took almost five years. The museum’s collection also contains three sarcophagi, one of which is cast from gold weighing 110 kilograms.
The most ancient exhibits of the museum are about five thousand years old. Here are stored ancient manuscripts and scrolls, objects of art and life, valuable relics and there is even a hall of mummies, where you can see the eleven surviving mummies of the pharaohs. No less impressive is the ten-meter statue of Colossus Ramses II, made of pink granite.
After the tour you will have some free time to explore the museum at your leisure.
