Egypt
Introducing children to the ancient Egyptians
http://www.strategiy.com/retailnew.asp?id=20060808131918
A rather nice idea by a shopping mall in Dubai, to encourage children to become familiar with ancient Egypt: "Reef Mall is celebrating Knowledge Surprises this Week. Organised by Dubai Land Department during Dubai Summer Surprises, this week the mall presents the wonders of Egyptian civilization. The mall is hosting ‘Pharaoh Era’, which will revive the ancient Egyptian civilization, which has been one of the most influential civilizations in human history. The aim of the ‘Pharaoh Era’ event is to educate children about this great civilization, its lifestyle and what it has offered us. This activity will enhance children’s understanding since information is presented in a simple and fun approach that will entertain kids by combining excitement with knowledge."
Details about the mall can be found at:
