Pharaonic Village

Themed Cairo - 'entertainment' for all the family

Doctor Hassan Ragab believes he owns a 'time machine', and he keeps it just three miles outside Cairo. For a few pounds he will whisk you back in time "about five thousand years.on a fantastic journey to the days of the Pharaohs, a time brought to life by an incredible group of actors and actresses, faithful and exact reproductions of buildings, clothing, and lifestyles".

It would be wrong to think of The Pharaonic Village as a mere theme park, it's a "living, breathing entity. more than education and entertainment; it is a vital resource in the preservation of our knowledge of the ancient world". You would have thought that the redoubtable doctor had built the pyramids single-handed.

After sailing round the village on "comfortable motorised barges", why not pop into the exact replica of Tutankhamen's tomb as it stood when Carter discovered it(air-conditioned), before getting a bite in "King Tut Restaurant"? The good doctor promises you "an experience like no other".
