Mummies and Warriors on the Loose in London Town!!!
London plays host to not one, but two of the greatest touring exhibitions this Century; “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” at the O2 Arena from 15 Nov 07 – 31 August 2008 and the “Terracotta Army Exhibition” at the British Museum from now until 6th April 2008. A visit to one or both is a truly worthwhile experience and we’re certain that they just might whet your appetite for more!
However, be warned that the Golden Death Mask of King Tutankhamun is not allowed to leave Egypt and remains housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. As all of our group tours include a trip to the Egyptian Museum, that’s just one more reason to book your trip to Egypt now!!
The “Terracotta Army Exhibition” houses just a fraction of the more than 8000 statues of warriors and horses entombed in Xi’an, China. If you are keen to view the rest of the collection, as well as visit the site of the excavation in Xi'an, check out our group tours to China. | |
