Home to some of the world’s most remarkable ancient artifacts, the museum remains an essential destination for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt—even as select collections are gradually relocating to the new Grand Egyptian Museum.

  Among the most enigmatic of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—and the only one still standing—the Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, continue to captivate visitors after more than 4,000 years. Witnessing these magnificent 4th-dynasty structures alongside the iconic Great Sphinx rising from the Giza Plateau is an essential experience for anyone visiting Cairo—and a major reason travelers flock to Egypt.

  Standing 66 feet (20 meters) tall, the Sphinx of Giza is a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt and a focal point of ongoing discussions about its purpose, age, and creator. Featuring the body of a lion and the head of a human, this monumental statue—one of the largest and oldest in the world—is believed to represent strength, power, and wisdom.

  Egypt Papyrus Museum

  Papyrus holds a significant place in Egypt’s history. This ancient form of paper is made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which features a tough outer layer and a brittle core, thriving in the wet areas of the Nile Delta. For centuries, the method of making papyrus remained a closely guarded secret, giving the ancient Egyptians exclusive control over its production and trade. Located near the Pyramids in Giza, the Papyrus Institute is a government-approved museum and shop where visitors can explore and purchase a wide variety of hand-painted papyrus artworks. Prices range from affordable to premium, but rest assured, these are genuine papyrus prints—perfect as high-quality souvenirs. At the Papyrus Institute, knowledgeable staff guide visitors through the entire papyrus-making process, including a live demonstration of how this iconic material is crafted.
