The Papyrus Institute
is a government-sponsored shop near the Pyramids where you can see a demonstration
of how papyrus - the ancient type of paper - is made, and choose from
an enormous selection of hand-painted papyrus sheets. Prices range from
cheap to very expensive. We
found the shop staff very hepful, especially when Julie felt unwell. She
was sat down and given a cup of the extremely strong, very sweet Turkish
coffee consumed throughout Egypt. Our fellow travellers also appreciated
the clean toilet available for customers.
