Designed for children up to 12 years old, this museum feels like a giant playground with exhibits focused on everything from science and art to engineering and culture. Kids can explore, create, and learn through fun experiences like building their own inventions, navigating a kid-sized city, or getting messy in the art studio.

Dive into thousands of years of history at this classic museum just off Tahrir Square. It’s packed with statues, mummies, coffins, and everyday objects from across ancient Egypt. Some of the big-ticket items — like Tutankhamun’s famous mask — are being moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, but there’s still loads to explore here. The building’s a bit old-school, with dusty cases and handwritten labels, but that’s part of the charm. Bring a guide or download an audio tour to get the full story behind what you’re seeing.
