Situated in the heart of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum—also known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities—has been a central destination for Egyptologists and history lovers for generations. Since its inception, it has housed some of the most remarkable treasures of ancient Egypt. Although portions of its collection are being moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, the original museum remains a must-visit for those eager to delve into Egypt’s captivating heritage.
The Pyramids of Giza—including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—stand as some of the world’s most iconic and mysterious landmarks. As the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, these monumental structures have endured for over 4,000 years. Rising from the Giza Plateau beside the majestic Great Sphinx, they continue to fascinate and inspire awe. Exploring these 4th Dynasty marvels is a highlight of any visit to Cairo and remains one of the top reasons travelers are drawn to Egypt.
Rising to a height of 66 feet (20 meters), the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic and enduring monuments. Featuring the body of a lion and the head of a human, this massive statue continues to captivate both scholars and tourists, fueling ongoing discussions about its origins, age, and intended meaning. As one of the oldest and largest monumental sculptures in existence, the Sphinx is thought to symbolize strength, power, and wisdom—core values of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Papyrus was among the earliest writing materials and is often regarded as a precursor to the modern book. Its use in ancient Egypt dates back to the First Dynasty, when the papyrus plant thrived along the Nile River. By processing and pressing the plant’s stalks into thin sheets, Egyptians created a durable medium for writing. This innovation became a fundamental part of their system for documenting texts and preserving records, laying the groundwork for written communication in the ancient world.
