Papyrus Manufacturing Tour and Papyrus Making Demonstration
Description
Papyrus Institute Papyrus is an important part of Egypt’s history. The raw material used to make this ancient paper comes from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant,which has a brittle interior and a tough exterior and grows in damp regions of the Nile Delta. Its method of production was a well-kept secret for many years, allowing the ancient Egyptians to have a monopoly over its production and distribution. The Papyrus Institute is a government-approved museum and shop not far from the Pyramids in Giza, where visitors can browse and buy a huge selection of hand-painted papyrus prints. Prices range from the cheap to the very expensive, but bear in mind that these prints are the authentic article and make for some quality souvenirs. Staff at the Papyrus Institute talk visitors through the entire process of manufacturing papyrus, including a demonstration of exactly how it is made.

We are visited this shop with own guide just after visiting the site of Giza my sister and me . First he’s server you a tea and wish you welcome . Was also very interessing to see step by step how papyrus is made . With also french explication . My sister and me bought each of one. Very nice staff Happy to have visited this place at my Egypt trip In April 2025 , will be always remembering this day
He kept pushing us to buy. No was not a word he liked. There was no demonstration. Would not recommend.

My friends and I did a shopping trip and lunch tour with Tonsi. As always he provided us with a other great day exploring Egypt. He made sure we were getting good deals on our purchases, attentive to what we wanted/needed, and made sure we weren’t being harassed by people selling things on the street. I have already booked my next tour with To so a d will continue to use his services.
