    I also visited the Nubian museum filled to the rafters of exsquite artefacts, jewels, pottery and 'mummies'. The artefacts are placed in order of era starting back to the beginning of Anicent Egypt to the fall by Jerusalem. As you walk down the corrior through the different sections, you can really see a difference between each rooms main centre piece for example in one it was a vase, the other a 'mummy'. I found it a educational experience but the opening times only 9am to 1pm was not a long enough period to fit in the exhibits and the cafes, gift shops and shows.

That was good news because it gave us a chance to get some sleep, which was much needed after our extremely early morning pick up.
