This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, which has a lot of treasures! We focused on seeing the colored statues, the treasures of Tutankhamun, and the gallery of Youya and Touya

Highlights: The museum was dusty but fascinating and full of charm. We loved the accumulation of sarcophagi, mummies, and the old explanatory labels. We also played a game to find the animal totems ✨
