Egyptian Antiquities Museum Cairo

The museum, several floors was very impressive, It is considered to have the most comprehensive collection of ancient Egyptian arifacts in the world. The treasure of Tutankhamjn is the highlight of this museum. There is so much to see. David and I spent at least four hours touring the museum and yet we know we missed many of the artifacts. There …

Ahhhh back to the warmth but something's telling me that the temp hitting 30celsius at 5:30am is not ways a good sign hehehe

I got a bit of sleep on the overnight flight... Than what to do for 12+ hours in Cairo..... I didn't feel comfortable to leave the hotel alone so just …

This city is extremely fascinating, but mostly due to its history though. The pyramids are a must see, and the Egyptian museum offered great insight in how things used to be so long ago. It makes you question how it is possible that such a organized and dedicated culture was lost to become what now is a chaotic and non-progressive one.

After sleeping in the Addis Ababa for 3 hours we caught our plane to Cairo. Egypt is very famous locals being pushy and trying to sell tourists packages. All of the haggling literally started as soon as you get stamped into the country. This was one of the fastest immigration lines I have ever been to. We got our visas and the passport check took …

Him and his friend share one seat and let me sleep in the other, and it feels so nice to have a real place to close my eyes. Then …

Later in the day we again headed into the centre of Cairo, this time with specific purpose - to see the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. The hotel's bus again took us past the pyramids along the long road to get into the city. We found our way to the …

Egypt was one of the most amazing and different experiences of my life.
It was my first time out of Europe and my first exposure to poverty and a culture very unlike ours here in the UK.

We stayed in a 4 star hotel and i really enjoyed the accommodation. We organised our excursions through the hotel and travel company.
After …

Hi there

Egypt, another country with an endless amount of history, it is amazing how seeing the things you have learned about, or heard about all your life, makes it so much more relevant and understandable.

There are 88 million people living in Egypt, but they just inhabit 4% of the land along the land, the other 96% is desert. …

While we were keen to get out and explore Cairo, we had arrived and gotten to bed at such a late hour that sleeping in was a requirement. We forced ourselves to get up around 11am, but were moving very slowly, so didn't actually get out onto the street until the midday prayer at noon.
