The ancient Egyptians buried a “solar barge” near their pharaoh’s tomb because they believed their ruler needed a means of transportation in the afterlife. In 1954, the parts of a cedar barge were found in five pits near the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The barge was restored and assembled from 1200 wooden parts and has since been displayed in a glass museum near the Great Pyramid of Giza. Opening hours: 09:00-16:00 Admission price(s): Regular: 50 EGP Student: 25 EGP
