The Pharaonic Village in Giza; Museum of Egyptian History
The Pharaonic Village in Giza, the tour in the old living museum of Egyptian history which might not be found in so many other countries around the world.
It is not like any kind of museum in which you enter and see the different old treasures being presented and displayed to the visitors, but it is more like a real show in which the workers act and perform the old Egyptian ways of living, giving the visitors the chance to know about the history of the Pharaohs.
The Pharaonic village in Giza covers the 5,000 years of history which the world is astonished by. After the performances that you get to see while being seated in a boat that moves through the Nile, there is also the replica of Tutankhamun's tomb which features the old treasures as well as the tomb.
Once you set your leg in the yacht that will sail down the canals, you will find yourself looking at the ancient Egyptian history wherever you tend to look. The life in ancient Egyptian time was so different that you will get astonished with the history and the old ways of living that is being presented in front of you through wandering across the canal.
This Nile river island kind of museum is very useful and interesting to school children and a very good idea for trips made by schools or even parents because the kids are not going to read lots of things which they might not understand, but they will watch the Pharaonic era daily activities.
Tourists visiting Egypt will also love the Pharaonic Village because they will get the chance to enjoy the tour with the language they could understand because there are different languages which they could choose from during the tour.
Inside the Pharaonic Village, there are different Egyptian exhibitions which help in transferring the 5,000 years of history and civilization which Egypt has gone through. Some of these exhibitions include Modern Egypt Exhibit, Inventors Museum, Cleopatra's Exhibit, Ancient Arts and Beliefs, Boats of Ancient Egypt, The Pyramids & Sphinx Exhibit, Mummification Exhibit, Inventions Exhibit, as well as some exhibitions for the previous leaders of Egypt.
In addition to these different exhibitions that get people more informed about the ancient Egyptian civilization, there is one important Egyptian exhibition to mention here, which is the one related to Dr. Hassan Ragab, the founder of this village. The Pharaonic village came to life through the mind and effort of Dr. Hassan Ragab. The exhibition of Dr. Ragab shows some photos from different periods of his life and also presents some of his personal items, such as his important Cryptograph and Papyrus Restoration machine.
The Pharaonic Village is located on the West bank of the Nile, on Jacob's Island, Al-Bahr Al-A'zam street, which is about six miles from the center of Cairo, and which will probably not be far away from your hotel if you are planning to stay in the downtown area.
The daily working hours of the village are from 9 AM until 5 PM during the whole year but in summer it stays open until 7 PM, which will give you the chance to visit it during the day without having to run through the other tours you are doing, just make sure not to visit it after 4 because you will then have no time to enjoy the tour and see how the ancient Egyptian people used to live their days and the activities they were involved in; give yourself some time.
The time which you will most probably spend inside the Pharaonic Village will vary between one to three hours and this will depend on the things you want to see inside, so it is better to be ready for three hours in this place just in case. There are tour guides who will be responsible for telling you the story while being on the tour and they are usually professional and friendly, so they will help in making the tour much better, interesting, and easier.
The fee of the tour inside the village will differ according to the program you are going to take, there are different options there and it will also depend on the age; children from 3 to 5, children from 5 to 10, and of course adults. The price will also differ from Egyptians to foreigners but the difference is not huge and the entrance fee in the end is not expensive.

The Pharaonic Village, Giza, Egypt
Imagine going to a place a few miles from the center of Cairo where Egypt's entire history and art comes alive! Such a place exists in the Pharaonic Village, on Jacob Island in the Nile. The village is surrounded by trees which hide the bustle of the crowded city and provides the background for an ancient Egyptian village.

Museums in the Pharaonic Village, Giza - Cairo, Egypt
There are some museums in the Pharaonic Village that would complete the living museum one will go through at the beginning by cruising the Nile River to watch how the Pharaohs used to make their crafts. (
The Pharaonic Village in Giza, Cairo, is a living museum for the Egyptian history that is mainly based on the idea of a boat sailing through the canals in order to give the visitors the chance to see how the Pharaohs used to live, what they used to wear, and how they intended to do their crafts through those men and women who are taking their roles and acting their lives (
Sailing through the canals is believed to bring a different experience to the visitors of the pharaonic Village because of the sounds that come along with the sights which they are going to experience; actually people will travel through time to feel that they date back to the Pharaonic times.
In addition to the first beneficial thing to be done in this village and which is all about sailing through the canals, there are other things to be seen and witnessed inside this place, such as visiting the tomb of Tutankhamun ( seeing the pyramid and the temple, checking the different exhibitions found inside and which are also related to important characters in the Egyptian history, and finally visiting those museums which are found inside the place.
There are some museums which we managed to get inside and which we think you have to check, not only because they are showing several things related to the old times, but also because they have illustrations for how the Pharaohs used to build the temple, the pyramids, and how they managed to deal with their work.
From the museums which we are suggesting, there is the Nubian Museum in which the visitor will experience the life those Nubain people have and at the same time get introduced to some of the Nubian jewelry as well as those beauty products which they might be using. The Nubian life is always different and that is the reason why all those who head to Luxor and Aswan are always advised to stay a couple of days at Nuba. This museum brings the life of the Nubian people to the visitors by showing them the things they are using and even show the musical instruments which they play on. In this place, you will come across different pictures for Nuba and there are also some descriptions that will provide you with more information.
The Coptic Museum in the second stop in the Pharaonic village in Cairo, Egypt, that visitors will also enjoy being at. In this place, there are some of the artwork related to the Coptic life along with some illustrations for the churches that might be found out there. It might not be filled with things such as the previous museum of the Nubian world, but it is also considered informative with the descriptions it carries inside.
The third museum to check is the Boats Museum and in this one you will walk through different boats that date back to the Pharaonic time, which were done by the Pharaohs and you will also read some descriptions that will help you understand how they used to bring these boats to life after a lot of hard work exerted.
Getting to the last museum found in the Pharaonic Village and the one that people might be looking forward to is the Pyramids Museum. Since the Pharaonic Village is all about the life of the Pharaohs and about the things they brought out to the world, there is this museum to show the visitors how the temple was carried, how the Sphinx was built, and also show them how they used to work on bringing the pyramid out to life, whether those small ones or else the big ones like Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. In addition to that, there are also some illustrations found inside this museum related to the historical temples and museums which are found in Luxor and Aswan and which are all related to the Pharaohs and their lives.
According to the Egyptians, the Pharaohs for them are considered the wisest and this is shown through the work they left behind and which is now placed among the seven wonders of the world, that of course comes in addition to the other monuments that people travel to see.
Since the Pharaonic Village was built by Dr. Hassan Ragab to bring the monuments found in Luxor and Aswan to Cairo, Egypt, in the first place, it is really the place where those who don't have the time to travel to the other side of Egypt, could check the work of the Pharaohs and the way they managed to bring their work to the world.
You could still visit the pyramids in Giza, Cairo, in order to see one of the seven wonders of the world in the real life, and this is where you will also get the chance to see the Sphinx ( You could also make a good plan about the things to visit in Egypt but which might not be all related to the Pharaohs.
Enjoy your trip to this village!
