Tutankhamun in the flesh - UK Exhibition and Egypt Holiday
The new O2 (previously the ‘millenium dome’) currently hosts an exhibition entitled ‘Tutankhamun And The Golden Age Of The Pharaohs’. Running since November last year, the exhibition has attracted numerous visitors all keen to see the treasures excavated from King Tut’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings. I believe that most of the exhibits on display in the O2 are the same as the ones in Cairo’s museum. (Correct me if I’m wrong, and I’ll book a ticket!)My wife and I were lucky enough to have an escorted Egypt holiday some years ago, and it was the best holiday we’ve every had. We have some wonderful photographs of ancient monuments, including Karnak temple at luxor, and the pyramids and sphinx at Cairo. I was most stunned by the scale of the pyramids. Seeing them many times on the television was no preparation for witnessing them in the flesh.I can highly recommend a visit to Egypt, and it’s perfectly accessable for families travelling with children, so type ‘family holidays to egypt’ into google, and get booked up! Ensure you get a trip that takes in the Valley of the Kings, and you’ll get to see the tomb where the exhibition pieces came from.
