Overview

Uncover the entire story of Egypt’s history in one place at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). Unlike any other museum in the country, the NMEC presents Egypt’s timeline from prehistoric times to the modern era, showcasing not only pharaonic treasures but also Greco-Roman, Coptic, Islamic, and contemporary heritage.

The highlight of your visit is the breathtaking Royal Mummies Hall, where you will come face-to-face with the actual mummies of ancient pharaohs, including Ramses II and Queen Hatshepsut. The quiet, reverent atmosphere of the hall creates an unforgettable experience — as though the pharaohs themselves are watching over their legacy.

Your guide will walk you through carefully curated galleries featuring artifacts of daily life, art, and culture that tell the complete story of Egypt’s civilization. After your exploration, relax over a delicious Egyptian lunch at a nearby restaurant, where the flavors of the present meet the grandeur of the past.
