Birdseye perspective on all of the key sights in Egypt 🕌
Back in 2019, the Mini Egypt park was the ideal place for me to get an initial overview of the most important sights in the ‘Land of the Pharaos’.
Although still relatively unknown, the park is a fantastic opportunity for tourists to get a beautiful and entertaining overview of Egypt’s most important sights, making it easier to choose destinations. In fact, the inspiration from my first visit here has sparked a desire in me to visit all of Egypt’s main attractions. The only thing still on my ‘wish list’ for 2026 is Alexandria, the pearl of Egypt on the Mediterranean coast.
December 2024, I invited a long-time military friend, who visited Egypt for the first time, to join me there. Even my tour guide Kimo at the actual pyramids (see the tours Giza Pyramids at Day & at Night and Prince on a White Horse) fell for the resulting pictures, as he called me immediately after I send him some greetings and asked ‘Where are you, Jörg?’ 
Mini Egypt is also cool for kids and therefore an interesting destination for families. The entrance fee is €25/adult and Sheemy offers this attraction including transfer from €40. If you would like me to contact Sheemy, please use the contact form.
