The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square holds one of the largest collections of Pharaonic antiquities in the world, and its most famous holdings are the treasures of King Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun's golden mask: the museum's single most iconic piece, carved from solid gold and inlaid with precious stones — one of the most recognized Egyptian symbols worldwide.
The Royal Mummies Hall: holds mummies of ancient Egyptian kings and queens, usually requiring a separate ticket from general museum admission.
Other key pieces: statues and artifacts spanning periods from the Old Kingdom through the Ptolemaic era.
Location: the museum sits in Downtown Cairo, close to the Marriott and the main tourist areas, so it's easy to combine with a Pyramids or Khan el-Khalili visit on the same day.
If you're planning to visit the museum alongside other sites in one day, a private car tour gives you the flexibility to move between them without a fixed return schedule.
