Start our trip to Cairo
A landmark of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum—also known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities—has long been a mecca for Egyptologists. Since its opening, it has housed some of the world’s most treasured ancient artifacts. While parts of its collection are being transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, this historic site remains a must-visit for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt.
The Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—are the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World and still shrouded in mystery after more than 4,000 years. Rising from the Giza Plateau alongside the iconic Great Sphinx, these 4th-dynasty marvels continue to awe visitors with their scale and grandeur. For many, this legendary site is the highlight of any trip to Cairo—and often the very reason for visiting Egypt.
Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic and enigmatic monuments. With the body of a lion and the head of a human, this colossal statue is believed to symbolize strength, power, and wisdom. Its true origin, age, and purpose remain the subject of ongoing debate, adding to its timeless mystique as one of the world’s oldest and largest sculptures.
Papyrus played a vital role in ancient Egyptian history. Made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant—native to the damp regions of the Nile Delta—this early form of paper was once a tightly guarded secret, giving ancient Egyptians exclusive control over its production and trade. Today, visitors can experience this tradition at the Papyrus Institute, a government-approved museum and shop near the Pyramids of Giza. Here, expert staff provide live demonstrations of the papyrus-making process, from plant to finished product. The institute also offers a wide range of hand-painted papyrus artwork, with authentic pieces available at various price points—ideal for those seeking a meaningful, high-quality souvenir.
