THE CARRIAGE MUSEUM , cairo , mueum in egypt

THE CARRIAGE MUSEUM :
 The Carriage Museum, within the Citadel, is housed in the building once used as the British Officers' Mess during the colonial period. It has a collection of eight carriages, including that of the Khedive Ismail used when he opened the Suez Canal in 1869 and a golden state carriage presented to the Khedive by Napoleon III. In fact, most of the carriages date from this period.
 One of a number of small museums in the Citadel is the Royal Carriage Museum in Cairo. Its small collection of carriages are borrowed from the larger Carriage Museum located in Bulaq.  It is housed in the building once used as the British Officers' Mess (until 1946) during the colonial period. I had to walk for quite some time to find it. I finally found out that the Carriage Museum is on the grounds of the Military Museum complex. I had visited that museum a short time ago, but somehow missed the Carriage Museum, as it is somewhat isolated. Its about a ten minute walk along a narrow path with very few signs along the way. Perhaps this is why it is so infrequently visited.
