Collections span Egyptian history beyond the pharaonic period, while the Royal Mummies Gallery gives the museum a focused second route. The central hall brings objects from successive eras into one narrative, from ancient Egypt through later traditions. Its Fustat location also makes it a useful anchor for exploring Old Cairo.
