[Outside] The Egyptian Museum


Adam, me, Louise, Lalli, Momo, and Gabriel

Artifacts outside, the museum in on Tahrir Sqr. with tons of traffic and pollution.  A new museum is supposed to open around 2015.

Where I'd sleep if I was an egyptian hobo :D


My new host sister, Sandy! I switched host families after the sokhna trip for personal reasons.
No pictures allowed even without flash :/ I've gone two times, first, with my afs friends (we didnt go in), and second, with my host family.  They were trying to be nice by getting me a guide, but his english was very bad and we rushed through the whole museum looking at one or two objects for each room.  I would suggest getting an egypt-obsessed brazilian/egyptian to show you around instead.  I saw Tutankhamen's funerary stuff!  It was crazy, and he wasn't even an important pharaoh!  I also saw the royal mummies, too.  Its huge and I'm positive I'll be coming back for more.
