Tahrir Square

Two protesters were killed in Egypt and a bomb wounded two policemen on Jan. 25, the anniversary of the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak, security sources said.
   
The anniversary is a test of whether Islamists and liberal activists facing one of Egypt's toughest security crackdowns have the resolve to challenge the U.S.-backed government once again.

The Cairo government unveiled on Dec. 15 four newly renovated halls of the famed Tutankhamun gallery in the Egyptian Museum as the facility undergoes a complete overhaul.
      
The gallery houses treasures that were found intact in 1922 along with the mummy of the 19-year-old boy king in the temple city of Luxor, and is a world famous tourist attraction.
