Are these two Museums open or still closed for renovation?
And if they are open are they fully open, all wings?
Just wondering if someone has gotten out to see these recently.

yeah that would be great. I havn't been able to find an update on the situation of these two Museums on the internet.
One webpage said the Alexandria National Museum was not yet open, that was in June of this year.
Another webpage said the Greco-Roman Museum was closed for renovations, that was like Febuary or March of this year.
I want to do katombs, but because its pharonic it'll scare the sh*t out of me.
I want to balance off the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids with something that doesn't frighten me so much. In addition to my mother not being able to withstand Cairo. It'll take several trips for her not to be in shock from the bustle of Cairo.
So we'll be staying closer to Alex for this trip. With the slim possibility of taking off with a non-pregnant SIL for a few day trips into Cairo.

So what you are saying is the Alexandria National Musuem is open, but not the Roman-Greco Museum.....
Right?
