About the Pharaonic Village
The village sits on Jacob Island in the Nile at Giza. It was founded in 1984 by Dr. Hassan Ragab, the Egyptian scholar who also revived the ancient craft of papyrus making. Visitors first tour it by boat along a canal lined with scenes of farming, fishing, papyrus making and pottery, then walk through rebuilt houses of a nobleman and a farmer, a temple, and a replica of the tomb of Tutankhamun as it looked when it was found.
