Review & FAQ:
The Solar Boat Museum, built by Kamal El-Mallakh, lies just south of the Great Pyramid. The museum's purpose was to house the solar boat of King Cheops, discovered by Kamal El-Mallakh in 1954. It is a humidity-controlled pavilion that contains the 141-foot-long boat. Reconstructing the solar boat took 14 years, and there is still some debate as to what the boat was used for.
