I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan (Books and Movies) I swear that the entry to this Museum is where Tolkien got his idea for the Gates of Moria. Entry was 100 Egyptian Pounds, but the Museum is huge...

The Coptic Museum was recently renovated and is beautifully laid out to reveal the wonderful artwork of this time. Especially interesting are the pieces that show the transition from Egyptian motifs such as the key of life to Christian symbols. There is an audio tour in English that describes each of the rooms in a few sentences; the nominal cost... More

Anyone with an interest in Christian, Byzantium or early classical fine art would do well to visit this museum. For me the highly is the very extensive collection of Christian art from the 3rd till the 11th centuries that happen to dominate the collection.

Such as, the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church and Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Mosque of Amr ibn al-'As

The area is has prominent military presence and the security getting into the museum seems like you're... More

A must see is the Coptic Museum. Expect to spend about 1 to 2 hours. You could take a taxi there. Or, if you feel adventurous, take the Metro at the “Sadat” (Tarir Square) station which is near the Egyptian Museum (look for the large red “M” sign.) Go 4 stops to the “Mar Girgis” stop which is right in... More
