Egypt - Papyrus institut in Cairo

There is not much difference from reel Papyrus to the unreal witch is made of leafs of the banana palm. Maybe a lot of people will disagree with us. But we think that when you look at them there is almost no difference.

 
By holding the papyrus up against the light you can see if it is reel, but who hold it against the light when you hang it on the wall in your home. The price is a whole other story. All the people that sell papyrus, claims that it is reel. So be careful that they don’t cheat you. You shouldn’t pay more than 30 EGP. For at piece of unreal papyrus in an A4 size. But you easily have to give over 100 EGP. For a real piece in this size.

On the papyrus institute you see how the make papyrus and after that you can go on your own to see all the papyrus and maybe buy something. The prize is high, but you are certain that this is reel. In the shop there are a lot of workers and they will help you to understand all the hieroglyph there is on all the different kind of motives. You can choose to get your name on a piece of papyrus or you can but your own sign. There is also many kinds of papyrus with Jesus on or other scenes from the bible.
