The Royal Mummies Halls inside The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is a must-see area. It has a separate section where royal mummies unearthed from various tombs are preserved. The special entrance ticket to this room is a bit expensive but it is worth the visit. The room is climate controlled and the mummies appear to be looked after well. During the revolution in 2011, the hooligans broke into the museum, stole artefacts and damaged mummies, which have been restored now. Mummified over 4000 years ago, you can see the mummies of Kings of Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis and Ramses in good condition. The kings and queens have lean bodies and the mummies appear smaller and shorter in size than their original stature. Walk around leisurely in this room and look at Pharaohs and queen resting in peace in a climate controlled rooms, far removed from their original resting place.
