Papyrus Manufacturing Tour And Learn Papyrus making in Egypt
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
At the Papyrus Institute you will learn about papyrus as an important part of Egypt’s history. The exhibits explain how the ancient paper was made from the stalk of the Cyperus papyrus plant and place that process in the wider context of life along the Nile. As you move through the displays, you will explore the plant itself: how it grows in damp regions of the Nile, and how its structure — a brittle interior with a tough exterior — made it suitable for producing the raw material used in ancient papermaking. The information focuses on the botanical features of Cyperus papyrus and its historical role, giving a clear picture of why the plant was valued in Egyptian society.
