One of Egypt's most significant attractions, The Egyptian Museum Cairo is located on the northern side of Tahrir Square in Downtown Cairo. Alongside being the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East, it houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. The Museum’s exhibits span the Predynastic Period to the Graeco-Roman Era (c. 5500 BC-AD 364). The most famous of course is Tutankhamen’s gold mask and treasures from his tomb.
