Rising 66 feet (20 meters) high, the Great Sphinx of Giza stands as one of Egypt’s most iconic and enduring symbols, and one of the world’s oldest and largest statues. With the body of a lion and the head of a human, this extraordinary monument has intrigued historians for centuries, inspiring debate over its origins, purpose, and creator.

Symbolizing strength, power, and wisdom, the Sphinx continues to watch over the Giza Plateau, captivating visitors with its timeless mystery and monumental presence.

Discover the ancient craft of papyrus-making at Queen of Egypt Papyrus, just steps from the iconic Sphinx of Giza. Watch talented artisans bring the age-old process to life, transforming Nile reeds into paper exactly as it was done thousands of years ago.
