This is one of your main goals when visiting Egypt. As l mentioned in my last post, when buying the tickets, take also the one that allows you to take pictures or images inside the museum, because otherwise you will not be able to carry your cameras with you.
l know it is a very personal issue, but before visiting the Museum l would strongly recommend you to get previous information of what you are going to visit, just in order to appreciate them better.
The visit to a museum depends on your interests on the subject, be sure that you could easily spend days visiting this one, if you were very fond of this subject.
To give an idea, a normal visit could be of about two hours.
It then comes the question: What to see there? And l advise you to have a general idea of the Museum, paying special attention to three subjects. The first one is related to the chamber of the royal mummies, inside which you will not be allowed to take any pictures. The second one is related with Pharaoh Akhenaten and his legendary wife Nefertiti. And, finally, the jewel to the crown of the Museum, represented by all the objects fund in the thumb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
The Museum premises are actually in a building of 1902, and all its items will be transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, now under construction, that is planned to be finished in the middle of next year, transferring progressively all the objects from the old Museum to there for a better display and understanding.
