More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through the Louvre's glass pyramid and the city noise softens into the cool hush of galleries. Light falls across limestone stelae and the dark, glossy eyes of a sarcophagus seem to watch you as your guide, trained to read objects like maps, leads a family through the Nile's story. Children trace hieroglyphs, decode symbols and peer up at the Colossus of Akhenaton—learning by doing rather than memorizing.
