Ancient history at its best, The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities boasts a collection notable for its standout pieces and, with a total of around 120,000 pieces, for its depth. First timers will want to see the Gold Mask of Tutankhamen, the young ruler's funerary mask, discovered in 1925 and perhaps the most iconic of the museum's artifacts. The ground floor displays a wealth of coins and papyrus fragments, while up on the first floor you'll find most of the findings from the Valley of the Kings.

You must go with a guide , otherwise you will spend days in this enormous museum. Most of the exhibits are moving in March, 2020 to the new grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids and the sphinx. A guide will show the important artifacts. There is an additional charge for the King Tut section. The museum is definitely overwhelming and can get warm.
