The museum was built more than 100 years ago. It has 21 rooms
and several tens of thousands of relics.
The greater part of the exhibited subjects date back to the
Ptolemaic and
Greco-Roman
eras from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. However,
there is a representation for Pharaonic
and Christian
eras.
The museum is the second important one after the Egyptian
museum at Cairo.
