About
Hand-painted papyrus with a short demonstration of how the sheets are made from the reed.
It is about a 6-minute walk from the Grand Egyptian Museum road, on Saqqara Road. Run by the same family since 2002, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.
This is a fictional demo listing used to show how Giza Spot presents a place.
