Egypt has always been a popular tourist destination and now there are even more reasons to visit it. New museums that opened recently have pushed Egypt to the top of our list of places to visit. Let’s see what they are. 

Sharm El-Sheikh National Museum 

The Sharm El-Sheikh National Museum opened in late 2020 and it’s the first museum of antiquities in Sinai, located on airport road. With a budget of a little over $52 million, the new museum has three display halls, a theatre, event squares, and retail space. 

Kafr El-Sheikh Museum 

The new Karf El-Sheikh Museum opened a few months ago. It’s located in the Sana’a Gardens in Karf-El Skeikh, around 120 km away from Alexandria. The museum shows how the city has changed throughout different periods and highlights the time when it was the capital of Egypt. 

Royal Carriage Museum 

Visit Cairo to see its new Royal Carriage Museum, located next to the historical mosque of Abu El Ellah. The museum, as its name suggests, shows a variety of royal carriages, uniforms, and accessories that were once used by the royal family for various occasions.
