The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items. Be sure to see.
What a dream come true to see all the wonderful antiquities in this museum! While there were so many great things, the King Tut section was amazing by far! Only downside is we went the day before the 2013 revolution and had to leave early!
I put this photo in to remind people going to Cairo that you must not miss this place with so many antiquities. And you can get up close and personal with them, including Tut's mask. I think it's worth hiring a tour guide who can explain the history and the stories around when the museum nearly got ransacked a few years ago. The guides, mostly casual workers, stood arm-in-arm to defy the looters. It still brings a lump to my throat. #museums
