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.
If you are searching for more information about Egypt and the old life in ancient Egypt then visiting the Pharaonic village should always be on your to-do list because it will give you a lot of information about ancient Egypt through the Pharaohs activities and life.
Being in Egypt, you could also visit The Giza Zoo with your kids ( ), you should never miss the chance of visiting The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization ( ), and of course you already know that The Pyramids of Giza are a must ( ) and the Nile will be always around you wherever you tend to go around the area of downtown of Cairo ( ).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Papyrus is a material similar to thick paper that was used in ancient times as a writing surface. It was made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge. Papyrus (plural: papyri) can also refer to a document written on sheets of such material, joined together side by side and rolled up into a scroll, an early form of a book.
Papyrus is first known to have been used in Egypt (at least as far back as the First Dynasty), as the papyrus plant was once abundant across the Nile Delta. It was also used throughout the Mediterranean region and in the Kingdom of Kush. Apart from a writing material, ancient Egyptians employed papyrus in the construction of other artifacts, such as reed boats, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.
