The Pharaonic Village
Interestingly, Dr. Hassan Ragab, Ph.D., Ph.D., who founded the Pharaonic Village, also rediscovered the ancient Egyptian art of papermaking (papyrus).
The Pharaonic Village is a historical experience to be noticed. It is a unique place where Egypt's entire history is explained in 2-3 hours, from ancient living to modern times. The Pharaonic Village is an excellent introduction to Egypt, a perfect stop for anyone's first trip to Egypt... It is located on an island in the Nile, just 3 miles south of the center of Cairo. In this village, you are transported by floating theaters while a hundred actors and actresses demonstrate scenes from ancient Egypt (papyrus making, sculpting, home building….etc.). It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience you cannot find anywhere else. This trip is one your kids will never forget!
The village also boasts a complete replica of King Tutankhamun's tomb full of all of his exquisite treasures as well as 12 new museums, four related to ancient Egypt (mummification and medicine, pyramid building, arts and beliefs, old Egyptian boats) and five museums related to other periods in Egyptian history (Cleopatra's museum, Coptic history, Islamic civilization, Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, Egypt's modern history museum). There are even three museums related to our late three presidents, Mohamed Naguib, Nasser, and Sadat).
Children will love this village! It includes a super fun amusement park, "Tut Land," and an "Art Center.". "You can also go on our yacht, "Nefertari," which takes you on an unforgettable trip down the Nile.
The village is a must-see for all visitors to Egypt! It's Open from 9 am – 6 pm daily (9 am - 9 pm from 25/6 to 31/8)
