The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is the new home of the ancient Egyptian mummies. It is the first museum in the Arab world to focus on the Egyptian civilization throughout history. Helpfully the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization has been divided into sections. This definitely helps the museum to showcase everything that it has to offer.
