The exhibits are arranged in chronological order on two floors, with 42 rooms on the ground floor and 47 rooms on the upper floor plus annexes at the entrance. On the ground floor, there are huge statues, sarcophagus, and boats. The upper floor houses the small statues, jewels, Tutankhamon treasures.
A hall for the royal mummies was opened in the upper floor housing 11 kings and queen’s mummies and 27 mummies in total. The Museum houses in general approximately 160 000 objects covering the 5 000 years of Egypt’s past. Please do not hope to see everything inside the museum at one time.
