Alexandria, Egypt

Overview

Museum in Alexandria, Egypt. It sits on the Mediterranean coast, mildest and greenest between autumn and spring.

Why visit: The Grand Egyptian Museum and the Egyptian Museum hold the Tutankhamun treasures and the royal mummies — the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities anywhere.

Things to do

›Book the Grand Egyptian Museum online — walk-up queues are long
›Pay for the separate mummy-hall ticket where one exists
›Pick a few galleries rather than attempting the whole collection
›Check the camera policy; phone photography is usually fine, tripods are not
