Friday with the Pharaohs
As soon as you walk in the entrance you are met with the interior of the first tomb. Paintings of figures adorn the walls and ceiling, telling the story of the journey and trials of the dead. Through every turn new treasures await to be seen. Different aspects of tombs, of Pharaohs you've heard of, and others you might not have. The atmosphere surrounds you. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. A great experience for those who are curious about what was within the sands of Egypt, without needing to crawl through tunnels. You can easily forget these are sanctioed replicas, the experience is so immersive.

Truly worth visiting and amazing immersion!
I highly recommend to plan to visit this museum of Tomb of the Pharaohs. My first impression is that the sense of immersion is outstanding.The volume and scale of the exhibits exceeded my expectations.They say that the replica was created by approximately 600 artisans. The exhibits are so exquisitely crafted that it is hard to believe they are replicas. they are truly magnificent. Through artifacts excavated from various dynasties and archaeological sites, we can gain an understanding of ancient Egyptian thought, views on life and death, and the rise and fall of ancient civilizations. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience such an exhibition in Cairns. It took us three-hours to go through the whole exhibits,as we took the time to read the descriptions carefully for all of them.I heard that this exhibition is being held for a limited period of three years.I hope you have a wonderful experience during the event period,truly worth visiting.
