The Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—are among the most iconic and mysterious monuments in the world. As the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, these 4th-dynasty pyramids have stood for over 4,000 years and continue to captivate visitors with their scale and precision. Rising majestically from the Giza Plateau alongside the Great Sphinx, they are a highlight of any trip to Cairo—and often the very reason travelers come to Egypt.

Egypt Papyrus Museum
Papyrus holds a special place in Egypt’s rich history. This ancient paper is made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which features a brittle interior and tough exterior, thriving in the damp regions of the Nile Delta. For centuries, the secret method of producing papyrus was closely guarded, giving the ancient Egyptians a monopoly over its manufacture and trade. Near the Pyramids in Giza, the government-approved Papyrus Institute offers visitors a unique chance to explore this heritage. Browse a wide range of hand-painted papyrus prints, with prices to suit every budget. Each piece is authentic, making for a memorable and meaningful souvenir. Knowledgeable staff also guide visitors through the entire papyrus-making process, complete with live demonstrations.
