The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

Muhammad Ali Pasha founded Egypt’s first antiquities museum in 1835 near El-Ezbekia Garden to stop artifact exports. The collection later moved to the Citadel but was mostly gifted to Austria’s Archduke Maximilian in 1854, now part of Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Giza Necropolis

2h
Admission ticket not included

The Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the world’s most famous ancient sites, built as tombs for 4th Dynasty kings. The Great Pyramid, built for Khufu, is the oldest and largest, standing unmatched in height for nearly 4,000 years. Each pyramid was part of a larger complex, including smaller queens’ pyramids, satellite pyramids, tombs for nobles, symbolic boat burials, and two temples connected by a decorated causeway. These temples served religious purposes, where priests performed rituals and offerings to ensure the king’s peaceful afterlife.

Great Sphinx of Giza

30m
Admission ticket not included

The Great Sphinx of Giza, carved from bedrock during the 4th Dynasty, is one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic statues. Likely built under King Khafre, it symbolizes royal power with a lion’s body and a human head. The Sphinx sits near Khafre’s temples and causeway, sharing features with his statues. Over time, the Sphinx became associated with the sun god and was called Horemakhet (“Horus in the Horizon”). Pharaohs Amenhotep II and Thutmose IV honored it, with the latter erecting the famous Dream Stela between its paws, recording a legendary event.

Queen of Egypt Papyrus

30m
Admission ticket included

This 19.37-meter long papyrus, complete and well-preserved, was found in the tomb of Yuya and Tuya: it contains the «Book of the Dead» written in cursive hieroglyphs. The Book of the Dead whose original name is Book of Coming Forth by Day is a series of around 190 chapters containing magical and ritual spells, illustrated with drawings, intended to help the deceased survive in the Underworld. The texts of this papyrus running from left to right are illustrated by scenes from funerary rituals and mortuary cult like the worship of Osiris and the funeral procession.
