Carriage Museum

　　The Carriage Museum is located in the Cairo Citadel area of Egypt. The building that houses the museum was used as a British military canteen during the colonial period. Although the museum is not very large and does not have an extensive collection, every carriage on display is a classic masterpiece, making the visit well worthwhile.

　　The museum houses eight royal carriages, each with its own story, allowing visitors to appreciate the carriages while also hearing legendary tales about them. Some of the carriages were used to welcome kings and queens, including a stunning golden carriage once used by Napoleon III, the French Emperor who served as ruler of Egypt. Among the most eye-catching exhibits is a black-and-red carriage, likely reserved for a specific king. Additionally, the museum displays carriages used by foreign royalty who visited Egypt for the inauguration of the Suez Canal. Also on exhibit is the carriage used by King Fuad I of Egypt during his private travels.
