The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

Overview

At the end of the tour our representative will drive you back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Embark on a Cairo Half Day Tour to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, beginning at 9:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by an Emo Tours guide. On this visit, you will be exposed to four crafts that shaped Egyptian civilization: pottery, woodwork, textile and jewelry. You can also view some of the oldest prosthetic toe ever found, a skeleton dating back to 30,000 years ago, the Kaaba Cover (Kiswa Al Kaaba), crafted during President Nasser's time and the Mahmal which was used annually to transport it from Egypt to Saudi Arabia as part of a grand procession. The NMEC is one-of-a-kind in presenting visitors with an overall view of Egyptian civilization throughout history - starting with prehistory and Ancient Egypt up until modern times. Other artifacts include the Kaaba Key and Clepsydra - an ancient timekeeping instrument - as well as royal mummies transferred here via royal parade from the Egyptian Museum. At conclusion of your tour, our representative will take you back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
