I went to Egypt in 2012 and visited the Royal Mummy Room in the Egyptian Museum, it was unforgettable and one of the top highlights of my trip. I had seen mummies before at the Louvre in Paris and at the British Museum in London, but this was on a whole other level. It was a small climate-controlled room where you could see the unwrapped mummies from a few inches away. Most are incredibly well-preserved and you can clearly recognize the similarities between family members, with distinct traits still perfectly recognizable after over 3,000 years. It was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity to visit, once we can actually travel again. It's worth hiring an accredited guide (as opposed to someone you meet at random), they're very knowledgeable and speak English well.
