It is located some miles from the downtown of Egypt’s capital.

The Pharaonic Village History

The Pharaonic village was built by Dr. Hassan Ragab & his son, Dr. Abd El-Salam Ragab. It was mainly established to allow its visitors to have an unforgettable adventure back in history to the days of the ancient Pharaohs and its builders made sure that they reproduce the ancient buildings, food, clothes, and ancient lifestyle at the best they can to reflect the exceptional glory of the ancient life of Egypt.

The Pharaonic Village covers around 490 thousand square feet at the Island of Ya’aqoub and it is surrounded by about 5000 tall trees that separate the visitors of the village from the world outside and give them the feeling that they have gone back in history for more than 5000 years.

Dr. Hassan Rageb has decided to build that village 20 years ago when he came to the island to grow papyrus for the paper fabrication after it disappears for more than one thousand years.
