Karanis

Reviewed By aelkhadem - Giza, Egypt

A stop before entering Fayoum on the main highway to the Karanis site is frankly a must. The site itself was once the Capital of Egypt although most of it is ruins currently, however, the attached small 2-storey museum is extremely interesting as it showcases lots of women accessories from ancient times, as well as 2 real mummies on the upper floor. Must see!
