Situated in the center of Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum—also referred to as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities—has served for decades as a key destination for historians, archaeologists, and curious travelers. Since its inauguration, it has displayed an unparalleled collection of ancient Egyptian treasures. Although portions of its exhibits are being transferred to the newly built Grand Egyptian Museum, the original location remains a must-visit for those seeking to delve into Egypt’s captivating history and cultural legacy.
The Pyramids of Giza—featuring the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure—stand as some of the most legendary and mysterious landmarks on Earth. As the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, these colossal monuments have endured for more than 4,000 years. Rising proudly from the Giza Plateau beside the iconic Great Sphinx, they continue to fascinate and inspire all who see them. Visiting these magnificent 4th Dynasty structures is a must for anyone traveling to Cairo and remains one of the main attractions that draws people from around the globe to Egypt.
Rising to a height of 66 feet (20 meters), the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of ancient Egypt. Carved with the body of a lion and the head of a human, this massive statue continues to fascinate historians and travelers, fueling debates about its origins, age, and intended meaning. Recognized as one of the oldest and largest monumental sculptures ever created, the Sphinx is thought to represent power, wisdom, and royal authority—values highly esteemed in ancient Egyptian civilization.
Papyrus was among the earliest materials used for writing and is often seen as a precursor to the modern book. Its origins trace back to ancient Egypt, as early as the First Dynasty, when the papyrus plant thrived along the fertile banks of the Nile River. The plant’s stalks were carefully harvested, processed, and pressed into thin sheets, creating a sturdy medium for documenting texts. Papyrus played a vital role in the development of writing and record-keeping in ancient Egyptian civilization, forming the foundation of their administrative, literary, and religious documentation.
