Day1: Egyptian Museum

After check in and half an hour rest and express freshen up, the journey to thousands years ago begins. But before, we start with lunch at Pizza Hut. The hotel to pizza hut is about 500 meters and the egyption museum also about 500 meters on the other corner of the hotel.

We reached Egyptian Museum around 2.30pm and according to Mustofa (our travel guide in cairo), we can spend about 2 and a half hours. It is enough for this visit but not enough to cover the whole artifacts in the museum. It was a huge museum. He was right.

We spent about 20minutes taking photo outside the museum while Mustofa buying entrance tickets. The museum entrance fee is part of the package.

Before enter the museum, we have to leave our camera outside. There was a special counter for it, it's free. It was like a counter where we keep our paper or plastic bag when we enter supermarket. They gave us number, 1 copy for us to keep and another one with the camera. We return the number they give us back the camera. We paid some tips to the counter man when we collected the camera. It was like we have to pay something because they asked for the tips before handed over the camera back.

In the museum, we followed Mustofa closely. Listen to his explanations. Some parts we couldn't understand because it was soo technical. It took 4 years for travel guide to learn about Egypt history in their Egyptologist Bachelor/Degree. So don't expect you can understand everything in short visit. Luckily we did some study before departure, so something we can understand.

Mustofa with us in the Museum for 1.5 hours then 30minutes on our own. Please bring water with you because it warm and humid inside.
