The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities — also known as the Egyptian Museum or Cairo Museum — is located in the heart of Cairo and houses one of the world's largest and most significant collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. With over 120,000 items, the museum showcases a vast array of treasures, while many more are carefully preserved in storage. Opened in 1901 and constructed by the Italian firm Garozzo-Zaffarani, it remains one of the most iconic museums in the region. Although it was set to be succeeded by the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza (originally scheduled for 2020), the Egyptian Museum continues to welcome visitors as of March 2019.

Known for her cunning and merciless nature, the Greek sphinx famously challenged travelers with riddles, punishing those who failed to solve them.
