My first visit to Egyptian museum.

                        Egyptian museum


 The Egyptian Museum, which holds one of the  largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world, is centrally located right off of Cairo’s now-famous Tahrir Square, one block over from the Nile River downtown.
It has one of the best collections of antiquities and artifacts 

,The building was built in the year 1900 by a  French architect named Marcel Dourgnon

.The museum collection exceeds 120 000 objects which range from the historic era to the Greco-Roman period .  hall for the royal mummies is also found in the museum which houses eleven kings and queens

 It has 7 sections which are
 1 – Tutankhamon’s Treasures
, 2 – Pre Dynasty and Old Kingdom Monuments
, 3 - The first intermediate period and the Middle Kingdom monuments, 
4 - Monuments of the Modern Kingdom, 
5 - monuments of the late period and the Greek and Roman periods 
, 6 - Coins and Papyrus,
 7 - Sarcophagi and Scarabs








My first experience inside the museum was awesome and this best experience was made possible because of shrouk , because of her we got a special guest treatment there.
We got the opportunity to witness the mummies and we also got a special guide tour in the whole museum. 
Egypt museum is the best place to know about Egyptian history. Do visit this beautiful place. 
Thank you!!!! 
Shukraan! !!
