When planning on going to the Egyptian Museum it's a good idea to set aside the whole day and head there early. There is a lot to take in and the sheer mass of archaeology and antiquities is amazing.

Islamic Cairo is amazing, there is so much to see that we spent three days there looking around.
It's also great in the evening to spend some time in a cafe drinking mint tea or some Turkish coffee and playing backgammon.
It's not even close to a 3 star hotel but the people who work there are really friendly and gave us such great advice. They even advised us on places to stay in Dahab and Luxor. Great food and a very safe, cheap place to stay near the Egyptian Museum.
