The Egyptian Museum (the old museum) is truly beautiful with its historic charm and is still filled with stunning treasures that span the entire era of the Pharaohs. My son insisted on going because it covers everything he’s learning in elementary school. It’s an absolute must-see, along with the Pyramids and GEM. It’s very convenient to purchase tickets online. There is no Wi-Fi available for those who might need it.
