My husband and I visited the Museum to celebrate my birthday. At first, we had trouble finding the entrance, but with direction, we were able to get inside and meet a helpful volunteer.
The Museum was gorgeous, filled with replicas of King Tut's treasures, and a lovely little gift shop to visit at the end of the tour that sold everything from statues, to authentic papyrus bookmarks and scrolls. We had the museum all to ourselves, and we took a lot of photos.
There was also a Coptic Church that we visited, with beautiful iconography on the walls. It was not in use when we visited it, but it was also beautiful.
