The Grand Egyptian Museum houses some of the most pristine statues of ancient Egypt’s rulers along a giant staircase leading to a breathtaking view of the pyramids. The museum showcases historic statues in state-of-the-art cases, offering insights into the lives of both royalty and common people. It takes a significant amount of time to fully tour the museum, with each piece meticulously displayed in a modern and tranquil environment. The collection includes royal busts, gold necklaces, and preserved papyrus, telling the story of ancient Egypt. One of the grandest collections is the gold mask of Tutankhamun, kept in its own room in a climate-controlled setting. The museum also houses Tutankhamun’s personal belongings, including bows, wine, and undergarments buried over three millennia ago. The embalmed remains of his stillborn daughters are also on display. Despite construction delays due to the pandemic, the museum offers an exclusive look into ancient Egypt’s rich history and treasures.
