Mini Egypt Park

Mini Egypt Park

Mini Egypt Park offers a different experience compared to a traditional museum. The place offers a fantastic trip for its guests and works as a live catalogue to recognize the touristic attractions in Egypt, making it easier to choose where to go.

The Miniature Museum is very charming, and we should not underestimate its artistic quality. Also, it is a fabulous outing for parents or grandparents with children and an extended learning environment for schools. It is not a hobby for children but is, in fact, an adult hobby. At the Museum we would like to see children accompanied by adults, rather than children coming alone. The new generation of college-going adults should cultivate this hobby, which will be immensely useful in real life.

The Miniature Museum includes 60 works of art by well-selected artists. They are the results of years and years of gift-giving from ancestors. Behind every piece of art, there is a story of how it came to be part of Mini Egypt Park’s collection.

At Mini Egypt Park, visitors will find a guide accompanying them on a rich tour of this great country. in a few hours, they can walk from Cairo to Luxor in a few steps! They can see Abu Simbel temple and High dam at Aswan, pass Edfu temple to the legendary Luxor for Famous Karnak temple, head towards Giza for the miraculous Pyramids, and walk to Sphinx.
