The Egyptian Museum

This museum is kind of like the Prado in Madrid, but it has all things Egyptian. You can't visit it in just one day. But yes, the essential things can be seen in a morning. For example, all of the treasures found in the tomb of Tutankhamun (sarcophagi, masks, jewelry and even boxers included-) Enter the sculptures of seated or the priest and his wife. Although the facade looks great the inside is actually so rickety that you'll be surprised by how easy it is to play almost every piece and that more than a museum seems an antique. The glass and wood display cases are very poor ... Yes, see what

You have seen so many times in textbooks of art history, is priceless!

A must visit attraction

With huge amount of historic peaces, you won't be able to find in any other places in the world, don't miss it.

You can not visit the capital of Egypt...

No puedes visitar la capital de Egipto...

No puedes visitar la capital de Egipto sin acudir a su histórico museo. En un país como éste, tan plagado de historia antigua y con una civilización como los antiguos egipcios de por medio, las razones caen por su propio peso. En su interior, en el que podrías perder días y días visitando auténticas maravillas, lo más interesante es el famoso tesoro encontrado en la tumba de Tutankamón. Todo lo que fue encontrado en esta tumba, la única que ha sido descubierta con el tesoro dentro, se encuentra ahora en este museo. La segunda planta es toda suya y es impresionante. Los sarcófagos, las joyas, los objetos con los que fue enterrado… La única lástima es que el museo no deja hacer fotos o vídeos en su interior, así que sólo os puedo mostrar lo de fuera.
You can not visit the capital of Egypt without going to its historical museum. In a country like this, so full of ancient history and a civilization as ancient Egyptians involved, the reasons fall under its own weight. Inside, where you could lose days and days visiting truly wonderful, the most interesting is the famous treasure found in the tomb of Tutankhamen. All that was found in this tomb, the only one that has been discovered with the treasure inside, is now in the museum. The second floor is all yours and it's awesome. The sarcophagi, jewelry, objects that were buried ... The only pity is that the museum is not allowed to take pictures or videos inside, so I can only show you the outside.

El museo Egipcio de Antiguedades está en la parte norte de la plaza de Midan Tahrir, y de fácil acceso en metro, parada Sadat. Es un edificio rosado, que reconocerás gracias al número de buses turísticos aparcados en frente. Es uno de los mejores museos en el mundo, que concentra 136mil artículos antiguos, más los que no están presentados. Ahora lo quieren trasladar a Giza, donde están construyendo un nuevo edificio cerca de las pirámides. Puedes ver el tesoro de Tutankamon, los papiros, las monedas, los sarcofagos y otros objetos que se recuperaron durante las excavaciones arqueológicas en las pirámides y en la ciudad. La entrada cuesta 60Le, mitad de precio para los estudiantes, pero no te incluye el cuarto de las momias. A dentro, se prohíbe sacar fotos, y pasas por un rayo X al entrar. Las momias cuestan 100Le para entrar, 50 para estudiantes. Hay dos salas diferentes.
The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is in the northern part of the square of Midan Tahrir, and easily accessible by subway, stop Sadat. It's a pink building, you will recognize by the number of tour buses parked in front. It is one of the best museums in the world, concentrating 136mil antique items plus those not presented. Now I want to transfer to Giza, where they are building a new building near the pyramids. You can see the treasure of Tutankhamun, papyri, coins, sarcophagi and other objects recovered during archaeological excavations at the pyramids and the city. Admission is 60LE, half price for students, but do not include the fourth of the mummies. The inside is photography prohibited, and go through an x-ray to enter. Mummies 100LE cost to enter, 50 for students. There are two different rooms.

Una vez en El Cairo es visita obligada visitar el Museo Egipcio, el cual contiene la mas impresionante colección de la etapa faraónica en su interior. A pesar de su tamaño mas bien modesto, esconde joyas como los tesoros que se hallaron en la tumba de Tutankamón; la sala de las momias reales, con los cuerpos embalsamados de algunos de los mas conocidos soberanos del antiguo Egipto; las figuras talladas en piedra caliza y a escala real del príncipe Rahotep y su esposa Nofret, o la sala dedicada a Akenatón, el " faraón hereje ", así llamado por haberse rebelado contra las creencias tradicionales y haber promocionado el culto al Sol como dios único.
Once in Cairo is a must visit the Egyptian Museum, which contains the most impressive collection of Pharaonic step inside. Despite its rather modest size, hidden gems like the treasures found in the tomb of Tutankhamen, the royal mummies room, with the embalmed bodies of some of the most famous rulers of ancient Egypt, the figures carved in stone lime scale and Rahotep Prince and his wife Nofret, or the room devoted to Akhenaten, the "heretic pharaoh", so called because they rebelled against traditional beliefs and be promoted as sun worship one god.

The museum has so many invaluable treasures that it is a sadness the little care towards the pieces.

El museo tiene tantos tesoros invaluables que es una tristeza el poco cuidado hacia las piezas.

Excellent
Nadie cuida las salas y la gente aprovecha para subirse a las piezas, tocar, tirar basura en los sarcófagos, etc. Es muy triste que además no haya organización para entrar y todos se avientan. El museo muy descuidado, sólo la sala de Tutankamon tiene seguridad, no dejan tomar fotos y si te descubren te hacen borrar las fotos aunque también escuché que a alguien le estaban pidiendo 500 libras egipcias para tomar fotos ahí.
The museum has so many invaluable treasures that it is a sadness the little care towards the pieces. Nobody takes care of the rooms and people take the opportunity to climb on the pieces, touch, throw garbage in the sarcophagi, etc. It is very sad that there is also no organization to enter and everyone fights. The museum is very neglected, only the room of Tutankhamun is safe, they do not allow to take pictures and if they discover you they make you delete the photos although I also heard that someone was asking 500 Egyptian pounds to take pictures there.

Situé Place Tahrir, le musée égyptien du Caire exposent des collections anciennes et surtout le plus impressionnant c'est le trésor de Toutankhamon ! On peut bien sûr voir aussi des momies et des sarcophages qui témoignent des temps anciens de l'Egypte, ainsi que des statues et portraits des anciens rois. L'histoire est complexe à apprendre et à comprendre.
Located Tahrir Square, Egyptian Museum in Cairo expose old and especially the most impressive is the treasure of Tutankhamun collections! Of course we can see mummies and sarcophagi that reflect the ancient times in Egypt, as well as statues and portraits of former kings. The story is complex to learn and understand.

Mummies, sculptures, jewelry

Momias, esculturas, joyas

Excellent
Lo que puedes encontrar en el museo es muy sorprendente y hace falta tiempo para perderse y ver todo lo que hay. Momias, esculturas, joyas. Es un poco caótico pero merece la pena. El nuevo museo será impresionante, pero perderá algo del encanto. Muy recomendable ir a verlo
What you can find in the museum is very surprising and it takes time to get lost and see everything there is. Mummies, sculptures, jewelry. It"s a bit chaotic but it"s worth it. The new museum will be impressive, but it will lose some of its charm. Highly recommended to go see it

Entrar a ver las momias cuesta unos 6€ y es bastante interesante. Las joyas de la tumba de Tutankamon también están muy bien, todo en si. Es muy grande y esta lleno a rebosar de objetos. El problema son los cambios de temperatura que hay, ya que excepto en dos salas el calor es insoportable.
Log in to see the mummies costs about € 6 and is quite interesting. The treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb are also very good, especially if. It is very large and is filled to the brim with objects. The problem is that there are temperature changes because two rooms except the heat is unbearable.
