I love the history this place holds as regards the war and the tactical approach. It has military grade war relics for anyone fascinated by this. For foreigners to get a pass, they will have to pay 200 EGP. This pass includes a tour of the external and internal areas, including two or three short movie clips.

You will get a feel of being present at the time of the war many many years ago. The painting in the movie hall are very realistic too. Photography is allowed too. Another movie shows a fight in an aquatic environment. You will need a 3D glasses which will be provided by a staff. During the movie, the sound effect is great and loud. Some scenes of water splashes are mimicked using over head sprinklers. So again you feel like you're in the ship while the bombings are taking place. Take care with your personal items to avoid water on them. The illustrations are in Arabic and I think with an English subtitles, I can't remember correctly. Inside the building you will see miniature building and war equipment. The best view in this place is in the evening.

It's particularly great for taking wonderful pictures, listening to the music and...
