Final Day in Cairo

This is the last day of our trip. We take the short flight from Aswan to Cairo. We then head to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. In 2021 the 22 royal mummies were moved in a large parade from the Egyptian Museum to this newer museum. There are 18 kings and four queens. We were not able to photograph them, but it was amazing to see these great pharaohs and their coffins. Imagine seeing the mummy of Ramses II and his queen, Nefertari!

The rest of the museum took us through the different eras of Egyptian civilization. From prehistoric to the different dynasties to the Christian time and then the Muslim times.
