The highlight at thisiseum is the Royal Mummies exhibit. It is so neat to see how these famous royal Egyptians were preserved. You can see some hair, teeth, nails, etc on their bodies. Photos are not allowed in the mummies hall. The core exhibit has some interesting pieces from throughout Egypt history. This was a great way to end our vacation after having been to Valley of the Kings and inside some temples, we could actually see the mummies that belonged there.
