The NMEC is not just a museum, but a scientific, cultural, and artistic institution that aims to develop the minds of its visitors.
The NMEC is also known among Egyptian museums for its modern laboratories. There are two primary categories of laboratories within the NMEC. The first is dedicated to the restoration of ancient pieces and private collections, while the second is dedicated to scientific studies and research in other sciences."
The exterior of the museum building, although not administratively dependent on the museum, contributes to the attractiveness of the NMEC. These include Cairo Lake and its garden, with their entertainment activities and restaurants. The NMEC is also at the center of new national projects, such as the creation of the Fustat Gardens.

The reason it's called the Museum of Civilization is that the most important thing here is the very concept of civilization. It's not about a specific era or time. Each display case tells a different story or concept of civilization.
The choice of the city of Alfostat as the site of the museum was carefully considered, as its geographical setting contains traces of different civilizations, providing the best evidence of Egypt's tolerance of religions as the cradle of civilizations.
The pharaohs established a large city where the Babylonians made a settlement when they descended on Egypt; the Romans used the city as their defense center for both the maritime and tribal fronts facing any foreign aggressor against Egypt.
The museum is divided into two separate sections, one chronological and the other thematic.
It covers many time periods, such as ancient, pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, medieval Islamic, modern, and contemporary. The thematic sections include: the dawn of civilization, the Nile, writing, state and society, material culture, beliefs and thought, and the Royal Mummies Exhibition.
Now it's time to enjoy the one-hour quad bike ride and then you will be transferred to your hotel at the end of your tour.

The National Museum of Civilization serves as an educational institution, promoting research, study, and understanding of Egypt's civilization. It provides a platform for scholars, researchers, and students to delve into various aspects of Egyptian history, culture, art, and archaeology. The museum's resources, including its library and specialized departments, support academic pursuits and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these fields.
The Royal Mummy of Hatshepsut, a statue of Pharaoh Ramses II, and a replica of the Rosetta Stone are just a few of the well-known and well-preserved artifacts from ancient Egyptian civilization that can be found in the Museum.
Photographs are prohibited inside tombs, and at some locations, such as the Valley of the King, tourists are required to leave their cameras outside before entering, as using the camera's flash may damage artwork within the tombs. As a result, you have to go by the guidelines to keep issues from happening.
Even now, Egypt is famous for its special buildings called museums. These museums are spread all over the country. A group that keeps track of information in Egypt says there are 72 museums in 19 parts of the country.
