This living museum is a fabulous attraction for the whole family
to enjoy. Visitors sail down a network of canals in motorized
barges where a cast of actors and actresses work to recreate
ancient Egypt. All the characters from pharaohs and fishermen to
slaves and potters are represented and even moments in history are
recreated. Facilities include a cafeteria, playground, restaurant
and boat hire.
