Why visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo?

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo offers a captivating journey through Egypt's rich history. Among the many items on display is the mask of Tutankhamun, made from 10 kg (22 lb) of solid gold.

Another highlight is the Narmer Palette—the first historical document in the world. Dating back to the 31st century BC, the palette depicts King Narmer, the founder of the First Dynasty of Egypt.

Before you visit

Lines at the museum can be quite lengthy, especially in the morning, between 9 am and noon. We recommend visiting after noon and leaving yourself 2-3 hours to enjoy the museum.
