    Standing proudly on the Giza Plateau, the Great Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most iconic and enigmatic monuments. Measuring an impressive 66 feet (20 meters) in height, this ancient statue—with the head of a human and the body of a lion—has fascinated historians, archaeologists, and travelers for centuries. Believed to symbolize strength, power, and wisdom, the Sphinx is not only one of the world’s oldest and largest statues but also one of its greatest mysteries. Its true origins, age, and purpose remain the subject of debate, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your visit. A stop at this legendary figure is a must when exploring the wonders of Giza.

    Egypt Papyrus Museum

    Papyrus holds a special place in Egypt’s rich history as the original “paper” crafted from the stalks of the Cyperus papyrus plant, which grows in the lush wetlands of the Nile Delta. With its tough outer layer and fragile interior, this plant was once the secret behind Egypt’s exclusive papyrus production and trade. Located just a short drive from the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the government-approved Papyrus Institute offers visitors a unique chance to discover this ancient craft firsthand. Browse an extensive collection of authentic, hand-painted papyrus prints—ranging from affordable keepsakes to exquisite art pieces—perfect for meaningful souvenirs. At the Institute, knowledgeable staff guide you through the fascinating papyrus-making process, complete with live demonstrations showing how the plant is transformed into beautiful, durable sheets. It’s an educational and memorable experience that brings Egypt’s ancient traditions to life.
