THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION

   The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is located near the Babylon Fortress and overlooks the Ain Al Sira spring in the heart of the historic city of Fustat, in the old Cairo area. The first stone was laid in 2002.
    It is the first museum dedicated to the entirety of Egyptian civilization. Where more than 50,000 artifacts will relate the stages of the development of civilization from the earliest times to the modern era. The museum's holdings will be displayed in a large permanent exhibition dealing with the most important achievements of Egyptian civilization. The museum also includes spaces for temporary exhibitions, as well as an exhibition on the development of modern Cairo.
   The most important section that this museum has is the royal mummies that in a few weeks will be moved from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to their new home here with special ceremonies.
