    Very impressive how they have worked to preserve this amazing piece of work. There are many exhibits which tell the story of the Egyptian history.

    This museum was okay. It is free and rather small. Conveniently located on one of the main streets so we popped I quickly. Some old Greek and Roman pieces that were interesting to view.
