The Beni Sueif Museum

The Beni Sueif Museum

The second floor in the place, it includes the presence of a number of Coptic antiquities, great and wonderful Islamic antiquities, and some very important antiquities or holdings from the era of the rule of the Muhammad Ali family that you can have more information about it through Cairo Day Tours. But one of the most important of those modern holdings in that museum was from the Pharaonic era that can be discovered through Egypt Nile Cruise Tours, which is a collection of statues that belong to kings and a number of gods and individuals, a group of funerary paintings, and human and archaeological coffins which you can see more of them during Luxor Day Tours.

In fact, that archaeological museum was established in the early nineties and was on a large area that reached approximately 4 thousand meters, and it was designed in its construction in the form of the same pyramid close to it, which is a Medium that you can take memorable photos with it during Egypt Luxury Tours.
The governorate of Beni Suef contains this archaeological museum, which was established approximately 31 years ago, and its area is approximately close to the number of 5 acres.
It also contains a large collection of the most important of these rare artifacts, which had already been extracted from various areas in Beni Sueif to visit during Egypt Cheap Budget Tours.

Unfortunately, due to the circumstantial disregard of the media for that archaeological museum, it had greatly lost its value as a tourist attraction, and then it was also ignored by the ministry.

This museum is now already subject to collapse; The Ministry had included it among the most important stages of development, due to the corrosion that occurred in the walls due to the salts caused by groundwater, as well as moisture.
Not only that but there is extreme poorness in the methods and means of displaying these artifacts in the place, which are supposed to attract the visitor in order to enjoy their grandeur and antiquity during their Egypt Easter Tours.

Work is currently underway to restore and maintain the museum at a cost of $5,027,600 to create an external drainage network for groundwater, prepare the basement as administrative offices, and develop the general site of the museum you can see that during Egypt Shore Excursions.
