The National Museum of the Egyptian Antiquities
It is one of the landmarks, a must-seen place in the heart of Cairo center. It is the home of what ancient Egyptians had introduced to the modern world. What they did is putting their thoughts in different artifacts that bear their concepts of life after death, how it proved to be unwavering faith deeply rooted in the society. They had no such concept "art for the sake of art". They have stories to tell, concepts to reflect, etc... To decode these messages, we shall put things into their original context when they have only endless arid desert, the river (the Nile), the sky, the moon, the stars, and the sun. Artifacts housed in this historic building, tell us how they did manage their day to day life, individual activities, social activities, etc. ... We are to ask them unavoidable questions, they are ready to tell healing answers!!! Only have the patience to listen and learn. Old Kingdom era artifacts are to meet you when you first enter telling you about the Pyramids builders. The Middle Kingdom era is also covering broad section here. The New Kingdom era is when everything had reached its epics. You will put your visit to the museum to a happy end by meeting the legendary pharaoh, the Golden Boy, the Boy King, better known as the Golden Pharaoh, Tutankhamen. His spellbinding golden treasures are to blow one's mind!

About Tour Guide Aly E.
Aly, an Egyptian citizen, Egyptologist, and officially authorized as English speaking tourist guide for more than two decades. I have a profession (tour guiding) that enables me to meet new people every now and then. I love showing people around our great country. The ancient Egyptian civilization, the culture of modern Egyptian people are always inspiring for many people. The monuments erected by them are not only massive edifices to astonish us, but they bear witness for the great people once inhabited this part of the world. Having studied all the accumulated layers of the Egyptian history, living all my life surrounded by these unbeatable phenomena, and choosing to be the interpreter of the silent monuments (as many think they are !), made me feel having a moral responsibility rather than telling people about the great predecessors, show them the great ancestors we are nowadays, make tourists feel like they have a second homeland or even a second family in Egypt. Flexibility, passion, and willingness to help people having the most of their time are integral parts of my character according to previous clients.
