Village Tours
The Pharaonic Village began, like so many other
great wonders of our world, with a dream. Dr. Hassan
Ragab, already famous for his rediscovery of the
ancient techniques for making papyrus, had begun to
ponder the possibility of a living museum with real
people, actors in costume and in a realistic locale,
taking the place of static exhibits.
It was after a visit to Disney World's EPCOT Center
in Orlando, Florida, that his idea took root. Dr.
Ragab believed EPCOT "was too computerized" and
there was nothing human about it. He began to think,
"Dare I have real, live people in my village,
dressed in the manner of three or four thousand
years ago?"
The result is The Pharaonic Village, a living museum
of ancient Egyptian life where visitors can sail on
a network of canals and view the remarkably
realistic recreation of the past.
