EGYPT---Despite the claim that the Egyptian museum of Islamic arts is the largest museum of its kind in the world, it is relatively small. Once you enter the museum, your eyes will first meet with a large copy of the Holy Quran, which is claimed to contain the earliest recorded example of the use of vowels and consonants. Some people find Islamic art repetitive and boring, but this museum proves otherwise. After browsing the museum for some time, one is astounded by the details of the artifacts. The museum has to be among the top ten places to see while visiting or staying in Cairo. It gives a uniquely poignant aesthetic experience. [link]
