Step back 5,000 years at the Pharaonic Village in Cairo, a living-history site where actors recreate daily life in ancient Egypt. Our representative picks you up from your hotel in the afternoon and takes you there for an easy half-day outing.

What you will see at the Pharaonic Village

• How the ancient Egyptians dressed, farmed, cooked and built their homes.
• Actors in period costume showing the crafts, customs and traditions of the Pharaohs.
• Replica houses and workshops that give a feel for life along the Nile thousands of years ago.

Why visit

The temples and tombs show how the Pharaohs died and were remembered. The Pharaonic Village shows how ordinary Egyptians lived. It is especially popular with families and children, and it makes the monuments you visit later easier to understand.

Good to know

Hotel pickup and return in Cairo are included. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera.
