Your guide will also take you to the Valley Temple of Chephren, an important site for ancient Egyptian embalming rituals.
Papyrus Institute
Next, head to the Papyrus Institute where you’ll learn about the fascinating process the ancient Egyptians used to make papyrus—the first form of paper. This plant-based writing material played a crucial role in Egyptian history, and you’ll see firsthand how it’s made. The institute also offers beautiful papyrus artworks, so if you’re looking for unique souvenirs, this is the perfect place to purchase one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
