National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo - Egypt
National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Cairo, Egypt - Travel to Egypt and discover what you could see there with us!
There are different things to do in Egypt and different Cairo attractions to head to and one of them is the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo which is considered the latest addition to the Egyptian treasure and which have succeeded in attracting the eyes of the tourists so far.
We have to mention that it is the latest addition to the Egyptian treasure because it opened in February 2017 with a lot of things to be seen inside. A collection of 50,000 Egyptian artifacts will be displayed there but will divided according to the section it is related to, which will present the Egyptian civilization from the prehistoric times until these days.
The new Egyptian museum has taken some collections from other museums in the country, such as the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Coptic Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, the Manial Palace and Museum in Cairo, as well as the Royal Jewelry Museum in Alexandria.
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is found in the ancient city of Fustat, which is now part of Cairo. Although the place is still partially opened and there are still a lot of things under construction, it seems to be one successful place to go and visit while being in Egypt and definitely a place for school children to learn something through out their years of school by taking them to trips there.
One of the good rooms or exhibition galleries that is now open is the one showing different types of crafts, such as pottery, textiles, carpentry, and jewelry; It is really exciting and interesting to go through this room.
The place from the outside is also magnificent since the buildings are breathtaking and at the same time it has a good view on the small lake found there.
The Egyptian museum of civilization working hours are from 10 Am till 10 PM, giving people the chance to visit it anytime during the day. The entrance fee ticket for this museum is 10 Egyptian pounds for Egyptians and a little bit more for the foreigners, which is considered fair enough.
There are different activities offered in this museum of civilization which are related to the educational level, the cultural, as well as some other training activities. The place is not just about the museum, but there are other facilities to be found as well, such as stores, laboratories, library, conference room, cinema, theater, and an educational center.
Showing the world and telling every visitor about the Egyptian civilization history was one of the main goals of this museum and it's main mission.
This great Egyptian museum is divided into different parts from the inside. At the moment, there is the temporary exhibitions gallery, but there will also be the Cairo Capital Museum, the Core Exhibition Museum, the Thematic Galleries, the Royal Mummies Gallery, and the Archaeological Treasure.
We totally recommend this museum for those who are searching for different things to do in Egypt and different new places to go to. Since the place is still partially opened, we prefer that you put it back in the list, maybe they will open other parts as well.
This is definitely a place to go to in order to know more about ancient Egypt and the Egyptian civilization and collect as much memories from your trip to Egypt as possible. The one thing we would advice you with is to never spend a lot of time at this place because it is still not fully opened and you will not get the chance to see a lot of things there; just have a look and go on with your trip, because it is also not that close to the other beautiful destinations and attractions which you will need to see in the city before leaving.
Egypt history is wide and huge and there are different things in Cairo that could reveal this history along with the Egyptian civilization and culture. These things come in the form of places like museums, citadels, mosques, etc. that could take you through a tour and get you introduced to the ancient Egyptian kings and queens.
Egypt tourist attractions are numerous and every single one of them will give you some good information about Egypt that will let you go back home satisfied with your trip to Egypt and the things you have managed to know about it.
After getting done with your tour through the National Museum of Egypt, you could also visit The Islamic Art Museum ( Go to Mohamed Ali's Palace ( and also visit The Pyramids of Giza (
Egypt is not just about Cairo, but you could plan to visit other cities as well, such as Alexandria ( or Fayoum (

Islamic Art Museum, Cairo; Artifacts from the Islamic World
Islamic Art Museum, Cairo, Egypt - the place that displays different objects and artifacts from all over the Islamic world, which immediately grab the eye.
The Museum of Islamic Art that is found in central Cairo, Egypt, is considered one of the greatest places in the world and this goes back to the different hidden gems that are found inside the place. The rare collection found inside the museum include woodwork and plaster artifacts as well as ceramic, metal, glass, crystal, and textile objects from different periods and places from the Islamic world.
With the rare objects and artifacts that are found inside the Islamic Art Museum, it is important to mention that there are more than 100,000 objects inside there; some of them are displayed while the rest are kept in the storage rooms. There are different objects to be seen inside the halls, since there are about 25 halls, and thus this big place needs some time to manage seeing it all and coming across the different artifacts that are found inside.
The Islamic world is so huge and there are a lot of things that the world know nothing about and have never seen before. Inside the Islamic Art Museum, there are rare things to see, such as the collection of the rare manuscripts of the Qur'an, with some calligraphy written with silver ink on pages with elaborate borders.
There are two entrances for this museum, one is found on the north eastern side and the other is found on the south eastern side. This beautiful place faced some damages which were caused by a bomb attack in the same area and which needed some restorations since some of the artifacts were destroyed and that is the reason why it was closed and reopened its gates at the beginning of this year.
This is a highly recommended place for people to visit because it carries good information, is clean from the inside, and carries different things related to the Islamic world which are related to different eras and different countries around the world.
Both Egyptians and foreigners will enjoy their time in this museum because the artifacts and objects are displayed in a very presentable way and the written descriptions attached come in both languages; English and Arabic and it also written in the conversational manner and not that textbook kind of way, so both groups of people will spend a couple of hours inside the place but will come out with good information and satisfying experience.
It is considered one of the rare places to visit and which are also related to the Islamic history and world which you will never find anywhere else; a place that represents all this kind of treasure and let you even think about it for some time after leaving the place, and sometimes even after leaving the country and going back home.
To understand the meaning of the Islamic art in the world, the Islamic Art Museum is the place where you could spend a couple of hours viewing different Islamic related objects that you have never even thought they existed.
The building itself takes the Islamic look, so you will feel the atmosphere before even getting the chance to enter the place and view the different objects that are found inside there. The tour inside the place will get you introduced to the Islamic contributions and discoveries which the world is still benefiting from until this very moment.
The Islamic Art Museum location is in Port Said Street, Bab Al-Khalq square, which is considered the downtown of Cairo and which is close to other attractions that include the Egyptian Museum ( which you could go to by walking, Cairo Tower ( the Pharaonic Village ( and even a little bit close to the Giza Zoo (
This place opens its gates everyday from 9 AM to 5 PM, except Friday, it opens from 9 AM till 11 AM but then closes its gates and reopens again from 1 PM till 5 PM, due to the Friday prayers. The entrance fees of the place are not expensive, which is usually the case with different tourist attractions in Egypt, they are 40 Egyptian pounds for Egyptians and a little more for foreigners, about 80 Egyptian pounds. Visitors are allowed to take pictures inside but without using the flash and this is only after they pay extra ticket fees which are 10 Egyptian pounds for Non-Egyptians.
There are different places to visit in Cairo, Egypt in addition to the Museum of Islamic Art, such as visiting the Pyramids of Giza ( you could come across Mohamed Ali's Palace ( you could go to the Citadel of Salah Al Din ( and you could have a walk through the downtown area to get more introduced to the place (
Never miss the chance of visiting the Islamic Art Museum in Egypt!

LEAD IN:
A state of the art conservation centre has opened as part of Egypt's ambitious new museum complex.
The 120-acre museum, which will house King Tutankhamun's famed mummy, golden burial effects and a replica of his tomb is set to open in 2012.
STORYLINE:
Located at the foot of the Giza pyramids are the first two phases of the $600 million Grand Museum of Egypt.
The museum will become home to some 100,000 artifacts, replacing the century-old building visited by millions annually in Cairo's heaving downtown.
Tens of thousands of artifacts are currently locked away unseen in the old museum due to lack of space to display them.
The main achievement so far is the construction of the new conservation centre to restore damaged antiquities.
122 conservators are already restoring and preparing 6,800 artifacts that will eventually be showcased in the Grand Museum.
We do conservation work on artefacts, stones or drawings and rebuild broken pieces and also clean and restore artefacts, says Sarwat Mohamed Hegazy, Head of Stone Restoration Section.
Established with Japanese technical assistance, the centre includes 12 laboratories for restoring, scanning and studying mummies as well as artifacts made from pottery, wood, textiles and glass.
Here we deal with real mummies both of humans and any kind of animal, birds, whatever is available. We deal with false mummies such as decor mummies, which you see right here now which is dedicated to the god Horus, which resemble the falcon shape, says Venice Ibrahim, Head of the Human Remains and Mummies Department.
A documentation unit is also working to create a computerised database for all the artifacts.
We do all documentation for the artefacts as soon as we receive them in the lab. The documentation of the artefacts includes taking pictures, sample analysis and after that we do plans for restoration of the artefact which could be cleaning or rebuilding and keeping them in stores to be prepared for display at the new museum opening in 2012, says the conservation centre head, Osama Mohamed Aboul Khier.

It puts the financial burden on exhibitors, who attend multiple shows with the same
buying pool.
We believe that the textiles trade fair industry in UK needs a new player in the market to refresh the current landscape and offer a new perspective. Our mission is to connect the best international manufacturers with booming UK fashion industry.

Ancient Egyptian Beds
Ancient Egyptian Beds
The ancient Egyptians did not have much furniture. The most common furniture was a low stool, although many people, especially poor sitting on the floor.
Rich people had beds and mattresses, while the poorest people slept on a straw mat or carpet on the floor. The ancient Egyptians did not have closets, but things are stored in baskets of reeds. In ancient Egypt the family was important.
Its importance is demonstrated in part by the many references to the family in a variety of texts and documents, many representations of it in the statues and paintings, and many family relationships between the gods and goddesses. The Egyptians used many types of wood furniture, including tables, chairs, stools, chests, and beds.
