Sean and Tony have arrived in Cairo, and after a long flight the boys are rested and have begun checking out the ancient sites of this Nile Delta civilization. First on their list is a trip to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, commonly known as the Museum of Cairo, which houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
A splendid array of sculptures are on display, as you move throughout the gallery from the New Kingdom {1550 to 1069 BC}, and then onto the final two dynasties with many artifacts from the Valley of the Kings. Artifacts from Thutmosis III & IV, Tutankhamun, and my absolute favorite Hatshepsut {the longest reigning female pharaoh in Egypt}.
The team are transmitting photos as I write this post so, enjoy perusing through the gallery in Cairo!
Travel stylishly,

A neoclasssical museum in Cairo – who knew ?
Would have loved labels on a few of the photos
(I know it’s a lot of work)
Thanks for the tour

Agreed, I too would have enjoyed a few labels on the sculptures, but the team indicated there were few ID’s throughout the gallery. Either that or they were so, engrossed and forgot to relay names.

Loved looking at the statues in this post. They can’t compare but some of the replicas of what you show in your post are in the lobby of the Luxor hotel in Vegas.
