No holiday in Cairo is complete without a trip to the Egyptian Museum. Not only does it house the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities, more than 120,000 artifacts are on display here, it is home to King Tut’s tomb, as the treasures of King Tutankhamun are commonly referred. Yet a tour of this pink building just meters from the Nile can quickly become overwhelming. The collection, arranged chronologically, is poorly labeled and the few descriptions are a century old. The following tips will ensure history triumphs over boredom on a trip with kids. Focus on things kids like such as the Royal Mummy Room, King Tut’s tomb and animal mummy exhibit. Hire a professional guide or invest in a map and educate yourself beforehand. View the ground floor last. Take a break mid-way through your visit and recharge your child’s batteries. Head to the museum cafeteria, bring snacks and relax in the courtyard, or simply take a breather in the bookshop. One last word of advice, quit the museum before the kids no longer care.
