The ancient Egyptians loved art and their modern counterparts are no different. All over  the Pharaonic Village, artisans work to create elaborate  masterpieces using ancient styles and techniques, carefully researched to ensure a high level of realism. Painters, sculptors, scribes and even potters are all present in the Pharaonic Village, each  one working on a very special project for the village. Many of the artifacts created will go on to enrich the authenticity of the village and the enjoyment of your tour, and in fact, all of the paintings, sculptures, and statues you see on  your tour were created within the boundaries  of the village by these artisans. 

  — Tomb of Tutankhamun

A sight not to be missed at the Pharaonic Village is the authentic replica of King Tutankhamun's tomb. The word «replica» actually does  not do this wonder justice. 

Dr. Ragab and a team of archaeologists, engineers, and architects, along with specially selected Egyptian craftsmen, used Howard Carter's notes on the original tomb to faithfully reproduce the entire tomb, down to the tiniest ounce of treasure that had been placed with the boy king.

 Dr. Hassan Ragab opened this authentic replica of the tomb in 1992, because he wanted visitors to experience the same thrill of excitement felt by Carter and Lord Carnarvon, when they found the tomb after six long years of searching. Most of the reproduced artifacts made for the replica tomb were made entirely by hand using the same techniques that had made the originals, as Dr. Ragab insisted that the replicas be made as indistinguishable from the originals as possible. Many of the artifacts took years to create at enormous cost, but every single one is there, from the silver and gold jewelry to the great golden throne to the alabaster canopic jars.

This copy is an exact replica of the tomb, except that there is a passage which runs round the different parts, so that visitors can look through special openings to see the contents of the rooms.

The Pharaonic Village is a must-see for any visitor in Egypt. Come with us on a journey through the time of the rich and exciting age of the Pharaohs.
