Day at the museum

A classic museum housing rich Egyptian artifacts from the pyramids and various temples from the environs. It's located in the heart of the city right near Tahir square and it is a very interesting site where you can see famous pieces such as the Mask of Tutankhamun (no pictures allowed). There is an admission fee but it's worth it and you can even pay one of the many guides at the doors to show you the main pieces while offering good descriptions as the interior can be a maze of sorts and without proper guidance you can miss certain must sees.The artifacts are absolutely beautiful and the detail and colors of each piece is absolutely a joy to take in. Although there are many pieces being moved to the new Egyptian Museum next to the pyramids, there is still a rich selection of artifacts that will occupy a good portion of your morning or afternoon. It is also an incredible opportunity to come up close to things that you read about on history books so definitely make time to visit this museum, you won't regret it!
