Tipping is courteously accepted in Egypt, as it is in the majority of European and North American nations. Tipping waitstaff and drivers (10% of the total bill) is customary. Unfortunately, touts aggressively compete for tips by letting you take pictures in places where it is clearly forbidden (like inside the tombs) at popular tourist destinations like the Pyramids of Giza or the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. Please don't let not paying to take pictures contribute to this issue.
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a very old museum that has lots of ancient things from Egypt. It has the biggest collection of things from the time when the Pharaohs ruled. The museum has things from a long time ago, even before the Pharaohs, up until more recent times.
