Top 10 Museums in Giza, Giza Governorate
Spot a tourist in New York, and chances are you can’t be sure exactly why they’re in town. Broadway? Shopping? A quest to find the world’s best bagel? It’s anyone’s guess. At Giza, though, it’s pretty simple—travelers come here to see the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

This small museum in the shadow of the great pyramid harks back to a time when the Egyptian government invested heavily in tourism and even though this place now looks worse for wear it is still worth every LE you pay to get in. The building itself is a modernist interpretation of the hull of the Pharaohs solar boat. A long, curving, hull-like pod rising from the rocks at the great pyramid's base, it has a retro-modernist cross section which resembles the retro-futurist spacecraft. Within it is a marvel, a full length Nile pleasure boat of a few thousand years vintage in almost perfect condition. Long and curved like the crescent moon, with a re-curve bow and stern it will take you a minute or two to walk its length and marvel at yet another incredible achievement of this great civilisation. Best viewed over the three stories the platforms provide, this small diversion form colossal stonework is worth every coin and irritation to see.

If you are looking for art work on papyrus try this store. The papyrus is grown on their farm. There is a demonstration of how the papyrus fibers are used in alternating vertical and horizontal layers which can be rolled. If the art work is large, the store helper will roll it and put the art work in a tube for easy carrying. The store is large and on a main street. The workers are patient and you can take your time shopping. It is a large facility, with many items, which can cause “head spinning shopping until you drop”.
