The collection of artefacts is breathtaking. You need 2 days to see everything and take it in properly. The downside is that the surroundings don't do justice to the exhibits. The whole place is drab, the display cases are old and a lot of the exhibits are not labeled. What labels there are have been done on a typwriter which gives you an idea ...

Back to the history, yes, but to the histery too.
Of course, I liked it, because once there, is like all that I had read and seen in books or documentals were in front of me. Whas a pitty that the Mommies room was closed -nobody said why-.

It's an awesome place to visit and a must-see while visiting Egypt.

the wonders of ancient artifacts. feels great to move back in time and fill the historical gap
