The Pharaonic Village was founded by Dr. Hassan Ragab Ph.D. An interesting fact, he was also the person who rediscovered the ancient Egyptian art of papermaking (Papyrus).
He Pharaonic Village is a historic experience not to be missed. 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 a great 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 amphitheaters, 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 definitely one your kids will always remember!
The village also boasts a complete replica of King Tutankhamen’s tomb complete with all of his exquisite treasures as well as 12 new museums, 4 related to ancient Egypt (mummification and medicine, pyramid building, arts and beliefs, ancient Egyptian boats) and 5 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 3 museums related to our late three presidents, Mohamed Naguib, Nasser, and Sadat).
Over a hundred actors and actresses perform all the daily activities and arts of the ancient Egyptians, including agriculture, pottery, sculpture, weaving, and much more. Everyone that would have existed in an ancient Egyptian city is here in the modern recreation, from pharaohs to fishermen, from potters to priests.
