1. Nubian Museum (Aswan)

On the right bank of the Nile in the south of the country is the small city of Aswan, in which about 275 thousand people live. Since this museum lies on the African border of the country therefore, it is also called the "gateway to Africa." The Nubian Museum is one of the most popular and preferred museums during Egypt tours.

2. National Museum of Alexandria

The museum, opened by former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, has become the repository for more than 1,500 cultural and historical heritage sites of the ancient country, including the Coptic era, Islamic era and the modern period in Egyptian history. The design of the building was made based on Italian motives. This is a spacious building with a carefully thought-out layout and very attractive. One of the main Egypt tours attractions of this museum is the Egyptian "tomb" in the basement and underwater exhibits.

3. Tutankhamun Museum in Sharm El Sheikh

In Sharm el-Sheikh there is only one museum, and it opened recently - in 2014. This is the Tutankhamun Museum, which is of interest to both children and adults. Pharaoh Tutankhamun did not become famous during his lifetime and died young when he was only 18 years old.

4. Egyptian Museum in Cairo

One of the most interesting places in Cairo is rightfully considered the Egyptian Museum, located on Tahrir Square. A huge number of Egyptian antiquities of great interest are collected here. Inspecting more than 150 thousand exhibits in one day is very difficult, but worth the effort.4. Museum of Islamic Art (Cairo).

5. Crocodile Museum (Cairo)

Near the KomOmbo Temple in Aswan, there is a crocodile museum. Previously, it was a police station, which spoiled the whole panorama of this territory, so the authorities decided to create an unusual museum here. The museum features more than 20 mummified crocodiles of different ages and sizes.

6. Papyrus Museum

The papyrus museum is small but interesting for its practical approach. Here, the papyrus manufacturing process is described in detail, and how it has changed over time. There are Russian-speaking guides, but without their help, understanding the tour is not difficult.

7. Museum of Marine Biology in Hurghada

The Museum of Marine Biology is not located in Hurghada itself but on its northern outskirts.

It is a large research station that studies the underwater flora and fauna of the Red Sea. That is why locals call it the Red Sea Museum.

8. Tomb of Tutankhamun

In the 70s of the last century, Moscow was seized with unprecedented excitement: the treasures of the tomb of Tutankhamun were brought to the Pushkin Museum. Endless queues stood day and night, then not to get to the exhibition meant to miss the first and last chance to see ancient luxury.
