    The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

    Located in the heart of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum—officially known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities—has been a beacon for Egyptologists since its opening. It houses some of the world’s most remarkable ancient relics. While many artifacts are being transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, this historic site remains a must-visit for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt.

    Pyramids of Giza

    The Pyramids of Giza—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—are among the most mysterious and enduring wonders of the ancient world, standing tall after more than 4,000 years. As the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, these 4th-dynasty pyramids and their iconic guardian, the Great Sphinx, rise majestically from the Giza Plateau. Visiting them is a must for any trip to Cairo and often the very reason travelers come to Egypt.

    Great Sphinx

    Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is an enduring symbol of ancient Egypt and a subject of ongoing debate about its meaning, age, and creator. With the body of a lion and the head of a human, this colossal statue—one of the world’s largest and oldest—represents strength, power, and wisdom.

    Egypt Papyrus Museum

    Papyrus is a vital part of Egypt’s heritage. This ancient paper is made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which grows in the damp regions of the Nile Delta and features a brittle interior and tough exterior. For centuries, the papyrus-making process was a closely guarded secret, giving ancient Egyptians a monopoly over its production and trade. Near the Pyramids in Giza, the government-approved Papyrus Institute offers visitors a chance to explore this tradition. Browse a wide range of hand-painted papyrus prints, available at various price points. These authentic artworks make excellent souvenirs. Knowledgeable staff guide visitors through the entire papyrus-making process, including live demonstrations of how this ancient craft is done.
