From 1 December until 7 January, visitors to the Egyptian Museum in central Cairo were allowed to take pictures with cameras and mobile phones inside the museum without paying additional fees.

The fees were lifted in a bid to attract more visitors to the museum, which houses countless treasures from Ancient Egypt, including Tutankhamun's mummy and death mask.
