[Cairo Sightseeing] Egyptian Museum

#FreeHongKongAirTickets #OverseasTravel #Egypt #Cairo When I went on a trip to Cairo, Egypt, I visited the Egyptian Museum. It was crowded because it's a popular tourist destination, but I was able to buy tickets easily. Security was tight and I had to go through security checks several times before entering. I was able to see the head of Queen Hatshepsut and the golden mask of Tutankhamun. Photography of the golden mask of Tutankhamun was prohibited, so I couldn't take a picture of it, but it had a very beautiful appearance. It was a wonderful museum where I could feel the history of Egypt. Address: El-Tahrir Square, Ismailia, Qasr El Nil, Cairo Governorate 4272083 Egypt

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.
