A visit to Cairo will not be complete without going to the Egyptian Museum. It houses the greatest collection of Egyptian antiquities and artifacts. Here you will see more than 120,000 objects and masterpieces, including jewelry, coffins and royal mummies, frescoes, and statues. You however, have to be prepared to sweat it out since the place is not air conditioned and is usually crowded with tourists.
The less popular Coptic Museum is also worth a visit. Cairo has a Christian history and so this museum is home to Coptic Christian artifacts and ancient art. This is a more relaxing museum tour since the place is smaller and there are less people.
