Exploring Egypt: Stay, Play, Savor!

Your image of a trip to Egypt is one that probably includes lots of desert scenery, majestic ancient ruins in the middle of dunes, and lush gardens around the banks of the Nile. Cairo is none of that.

Cairo is one of - if not the largest, depending on your source - metro area in Africa, and definitely the largest in the Arab World. It's crowded, busy, bustling, noisy, and chaotic. Very few of its site date back to ancient Egypt and most travelers leave either underwhelmed or worn down by the large city. But, this is a really easy fix: adjust your expectations. Because Cairo is a city oozing in culture and history. It's also the center of the Arab World's music and film industries, and has been the preeminent center of culture in the Arab World for over a millennia. With amazing neighborhoods and dynamic experiences, you could easily entertain yourself for four days in Cairo.

So, what should you do in Cairo? I'm glad you asked! Here is my guide to Cairo's best sites.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, also known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, serves as a guardian of the nation's cultural treasures. Situated on Tahrir Square, this museum has been a stalwart witness to Egypt's rich tapestry of civilization.

As you step into the grand halls of the museum, you are greeted by an overwhelming array of artifacts, each whispering tales from Egypt's ancient past. The museum houses over 120,000 items, providing an unparalleled window into the lives of the pharaohs, priests, and everyday Egyptians.

The architecture of the museum, with its neo-classical facade, harks back to a bygone era, setting the stage for an immersive journey through time. Its labyrinthine layout adds a touch of mystery, inviting visitors to meander through the corridors and discover the stories encapsulated within each exhibit.

One cannot help but marvel at the star of the museum—the golden mask of Tutankhamun. Crafted with exquisite detail and adorned with precious stones, this iconic artifact is a testament to the opulence of ancient Egyptian royalty. It is said that the mask was intended to safeguard the pharaoh's spirit in the afterlife.

A fun fact that adds intrigue to the Egyptian Museum experience is that it served as the primary home for Tutankhamun's treasures until the completion of the Grand Egyptian Museum. The move of Tutankhamun's collection to the GEM is part of a grand endeavor to provide these treasures with a more expansive and state-of-the-art showcase.

In addition to Tutankhamun's treasures, the museum boasts an impressive collection of mummies, papyrus scrolls, and monumental statues, each contributing to the multifaceted narrative of Egypt's past. As you wander through its halls, the Egyptian Museum becomes a living testament to the enduring legacy of this ancient civilization.

The majestic Egyptian Museum was built during the age of Napoleon. The museum still looks majestic, but the collection is even more impressive. Filled with one of the greatest collections of Egyptian antiquities including a whole room full of mummies (for an additional cost), every room is filled with incredible items. A real must see.

One note for visitors in summer - only two rooms in the whole museum has air conditioning (stunning for such a collection of antiquities that the preservation is so subpar). So if you do want to go during the summer, get there in the morning at opening or it will be a sticky visit.


The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a renowned repository of ancient Egyptian artifacts, boasting over 120,000 items including Tutankhamun's golden mask and royal mummies. To reach the museum locally, you can take a taxi, use the metro to Sadat or Attaba stations, or hop on a bus heading to Midan Tahrir or Ramses Square. Once there, explore millennia of Egyptian history and culture through its fascinating exhibit

The Egyptian Museum is very informative and interesting! It's best with a guide in some way as there's so much information, but you can also see it on your own if you allow a few hours to explore

Admire an incredible collection of artifacts, including the famous treasures of Tutankhamun, mummies, and ancient artifacts spanning thousands of years.
