Do not be surprised a visitor complained to the first director of the Egyptian Museum Gaston Maspero, that it is too crowded with artifacts. Maspero replied that ancient Egyptian would have liked this.

Egyptian temple was crowded with statues and every available space of a tomb was full of scenes and hieroglyphics inscriptions. So in general what you will see represent one of the world” s oldest known civilization, dating back as early as four thousand years B.C. The treasure of the chronological order from the pre-dynastic period until the end of the Roman period in the ground floor is awaiting your visit, love, and appreciation.

All the historical mosques are open for the visit of Muslims/non-Muslims alike like Mohamed Ali Mosque within the Citadel, Amr Ibn El Ass mosque, Ibn Tulun mosque, El Refae mosque, Madrassa of Sultan Hassan and Al Azhar mosque. However, there are protocols which must be followed. Always remember a mosque is a place of prayer and worship for Muslims. It is not a museum.

The answer is between yes and no. in most of the sightseeing it is allowed to take photos and make your trip memorable but there are other places in which you can not take even your camera with you for example Egyptian Museum, Valley of the kings, inside any of the Pyramid, inside the tombs in Sakkara, tombs of noblemen in Luxor, valley of the queens in Luxor.
