This is a must experience in a life time. The sheer brilliance of man mad art tell us .. the generation of today how how detailing went into the work. Simply brilliant

“Best known work of Egypt's finest Modern and Contemporary Sculptors”

May 2013

Egypt's Renaissance is a beautiful sculputure in granite located opposite the Giza Zoo. A beautiful sculpture by Mahmoud Mokhtar and an important part of Egyptian modern heritage representing Egypt's transformation after the 1919 revolution. What is particularly interesting is the reliance on ancient Egyptian trends in sculptures thus taking an ancient art into the 20th century. If this sculpture interests you then a visit to the Mahmoud Mokhtar museum would be worth your while

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
