Cairo, Mar 30: The Pharaonic village, which takes one around 5,000 years back in time, is a must-see for
any tourist in Egypt.
Located in Ya`aqoob Island on an area of 32 acres in
Giza, the village is only a few miles from downtown Cairo.
The village is built in sync with the ancient Egyptian
style and is inhabited by some 300 persons who practise all
agricultural and industrial activities with the same tools and
implements as used in ancient Egypt.
A tour to this village takes off on a floating
amphitheatre through the Nile River which dropped a tourist at
the island which is surrounded by 5,000 trees tall enough to
screen adjacent signs of modern life
Nisreen Hamouda, a tour guide told Kuna that the
paintings on the outer walls of the temple reflect the
victories of King Mina (also known as King Narmer), the
founder of the first Pharaonic dynasty who was able to unite
the northern and southern parts of Egypt into one state.
The temple also has a painting of Hathor, the goddess
of love, beauty, and happiness. Kuna
