Before catching our flight to Aswan in the night, we visited a Papyrus Gallery. The gentleman demonstrated to us on the process of making this ancient paper.
First, demonstration on the strength of the Papyrus plant
The outer part of the plant was stripped off, leaving the inner part. It was then cut into strips.
The strips will then be place side by side and overlapping each other. It will then put under pressure to dry out and ready for use.
You may notice some of their works in the background of the photos; they even have logo of Barcelona F.C. It was quite impressive.
