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 the park is still relatively unknown, it offers tourists a fantastic opportunity to get a lovely and entertaining overview of Egypt’s main attractions, which makes choosing where to go easier. In fact, my first visit here inspired me to visit all of Egypt’s major sights. The only thing still on my ‘wish list’ for 2026 is Alexandria, the pearl of Egypt on the Mediterranean coast.
In 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 cool for children too, making it an interesting day-out destination for families. Admission costs €25 per adult, and Sheemy offers this attraction from €35 including transport. If you’d like me to contact him, please use the contact form.
