Egypt Papyrus Museum
Papyrus plays a vital role in Egypt’s ancient history, as the first form of paper used by the pharaohs. Made from the Cyperus papyrus plant, which grows in the Nile Delta’s marshy lands, this durable material was once crafted using a closely guarded technique—giving ancient Egypt a monopoly on written communication for centuries. Located near the Pyramids of Giza, the Papyrus Institute is a government-approved museum and workshop where visitors can learn about this fascinating process. Watch a live demonstration of how papyrus sheets are made, from plant stalk to finished scroll, using traditional methods. Browse a wide selection of authentic, hand-painted papyrus artworks, ranging from affordable keepsakes to collectible masterpieces. These unique pieces make for meaningful, high-quality souvenirs—perfect for anyone looking to take home a piece of Egyptian heritage.
