The main hall of the Egypt Museum. Tourists aren’t supposed to bring in cameras… But they let me bring in my iPhone. This was one of 3 must-do activities for my brief stay in Cairo. It was cool, with an abundance of interesting antiquities, but it was kind of disappointing. Unlike the main hall, most spaces were dark and dingy. Many of the pieces were poorly labled, if they had any labels or signage at all. In some places, pieces were simply piled on each other in a dark corner. Worst of all, the museum admission was 60 Egyptian Pounds, but then they were charging another 100 to go to the royal mummies section. Lame.
