Pyramids of Giza
The Pyramids of Giza—featuring the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—stand as timeless icons of the ancient world. As the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, these 4th Dynasty masterpieces, alongside the majestic Great Sphinx, have fascinated travelers for over 4,000 years.

Great Sphinx
Rising 66 feet (20 meters) high, the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious monuments. With the body of a lion and the head of a human—believed by many to represent Pharaoh Khafre—this colossal statue is among the oldest and largest of its kind in the world. Its true origins, purpose, and meaning continue to fuel debate among historians and archaeologists. Often seen as a symbol of strength, power, and wisdom, the Sphinx remains a captivating enigma that draws visitors from around the globe.

Egypt Papyrus Museum
Papyrus plays an important role in Egypt’s cultural and historical legacy. Crafted from the Cyperus papyrus plant—native to the damp regions of the Nile Delta—this early form of paper was made using the plant’s tough outer stalk and soft inner core. In ancient times, the technique was a closely guarded secret, giving Egypt a monopoly over papyrus production and trade. Today, just minutes from the Giza Pyramids, the Papyrus Institute offers a unique opportunity to explore this ancient craft. As a government-certified museum and store, it features live demonstrations of the traditional papermaking process and showcases a wide range of authentic, hand-painted papyrus art. With options to suit every budget, these genuine pieces make meaningful and lasting souvenirs. Friendly, knowledgeable staff are on hand to guide you through the experience and help you choose the perfect artwork to take home.
