For anyone visiting Egypt, this museum is one of the key stops for understanding the country\u2019s rich historical legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Localisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le mus\u00e9e est situ\u00e9 en plein c\u0153ur du Caire, sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 nord de la place Tahrir. La station de m\u00e9tro la plus proche est la station Sadat, \u00e0 partir de laquelle le mus\u00e9e est facilement accessible en suivant les panneaux. Son adresse exacte est la suivante Place Tahrir, Le Caire, Egypte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depuis les stations baln\u00e9aires comme Hurghada, les touristes visitent souvent le mus\u00e9e dans le cadre d'excursions d'une journ\u00e9e au Caire. Ces excursions comprennent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arr\u00eat aux pyramides de Gizeh et au Sphinx.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Une visite du Mus\u00e9e \u00e9gyptien ou, de plus en plus souvent, du nouveau Grand Mus\u00e9e \u00e9gyptien.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D\u00e9jeuner-croisi\u00e8re sur le Nil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Horaires d\u2019ouverture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le mus\u00e9e est ouvert tous les jours de 9 h \u00e0 17 h (la billetterie ferme vers 16 h 15), y compris les week-ends et les jours f\u00e9ri\u00e9s. Pendant le ramadan, les horaires sont r\u00e9duits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Billets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Billet d\u2019entr\u00e9e pour les adultes \u00e9trangers : environ 550 livres \u00e9gyptiennes (2026).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9tudiants : environ 50 % de r\u00e9duction sur pr\u00e9sentation d\u2019une carte d\u2019\u00e9tudiant valide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Les photos au t\u00e9l\u00e9phone portable (sans flash) sont gratuites ; l\u2019usage d\u2019un appareil photo n\u00e9cessite un billet suppl\u00e9mentaire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Histoire et construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum\u2019s history goes back to 1858, when the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette founded the Egyptian Antiquities Service and a first museum in Bulaq, at a time when countless artifacts were being exported abroad by foreign archaeologists. Despite this, Egypt managed to preserve a vast number of treasures, many of which are now housed here. The current building on Tahrir Square opened in 1902 and, although partly renovated in recent years, still shows its age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En raison de l\u2019affluence et du manque d\u2019espace d\u2019exposition, les autorit\u00e9s \u00e9gyptiennes ont construit un nouveau mus\u00e9e moderne pr\u00e8s des pyramides de Gizeh. Le Grand Mus\u00e9e \u00e9gyptien (GEM) a officiellement ouvert ses portes en novembre 2025, et de nombreux objets du mus\u00e9e du Caire, dont l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 du tr\u00e9sor de Tout\u00e2nkhamon, y ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transf\u00e9r\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expositions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les expositions sont organis\u00e9es chronologiquement et regroup\u00e9es par type. Le visiteur p\u00e9n\u00e8tre d'abord dans une vaste salle remplie de sculptures monumentales, telles que :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La statue du pharaon Khafre, l'un des b\u00e2tisseurs des pyramides de Gizeh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statues colossales d'Akhenaton et repr\u00e9sentations de la reine N\u00e9fertiti (le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre buste berlinois de N\u00e9fertiti n'est pas ici).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les autres points forts sont les suivants :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Les tr\u00e9sors de Tanis, avec les masques fun\u00e9raires et les cercueils en or et en argent des pharaons des XXIe et XXIIe dynasties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The only known complete statue of Pharaoh Cheops (Khufu), builder of the Great Pyramid \u2013 a tiny ivory figurine just 7.5 cm tall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Les sculptures plus vraies que nature du prince Rahotep et de son \u00e9pouse Nofret, datant d\u2019environ 2600 av. J.-C., qui \u00e9tonnent encore les visiteurs par leur r\u00e9alisme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some famous exhibits are no longer here: the royal mummies, including Ramses II, were moved to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in 2021, and Tutankhamun\u2019s golden death mask is now displayed at the Grand Egyptian Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exp\u00e9rience des visiteurs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le mus\u00e9e est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement tr\u00e8s fr\u00e9quent\u00e9, surtout en p\u00e9riode de forte affluence touristique. Les visiteurs rencontrent souvent :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Files d'attente \u00e0 l'entr\u00e9e.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>De grands groupes guid\u00e9s, se disputant parfois l'espace et s'exprimant dans de nombreuses langues diff\u00e9rentes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C'est pourquoi il est recommand\u00e9 de se pr\u00e9parer \u00e0 l'avance en lisant des informations sur les expositions ou en faisant appel \u00e0 un guide comp\u00e9tent. Les visiteurs pourront ainsi appr\u00e9cier pleinement les histoires uniques qui se cachent derri\u00e8re chaque artefact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aujourd'hui, malgr\u00e9 l'agitation, le mus\u00e9e \u00e9gyptien du Caire reste l'une des institutions culturelles les plus importantes au monde, offrant un voyage sans pareil dans l'histoire et les r\u00e9alisations de l'\u00c9gypte ancienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
