Your Egyptian fantasy is fulfilled here. Some incredible pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. Organized and pleasant experience.

A great museum with a lot of collections. Good for adults and junior kids who are learning world history. It’ll be nicer if there’s a play room or something for kids.
