We visited the Cairo Museum on our first trip to Egypt and I was surprised at how big it was. The Tutankhamun room with all the treasures and artifacts was truly amazing.
We stayed in Luxor for our second visit, on Crocodile Island (now renamed King's Island). We visited to the Valley of the Kings, and went inside Tutankhamun's tomb, I was surprised how small it was compared to other tombs around.
