A word of warning, though. Whether you’re grappling with hidden scandals or mysterious daily rituals, you may find being an ancient Egyptian royal more difficult than you ever could have imagined...

Going back in time...

Yes, from this point forward, picture yourself as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. That may sound daunting, but don’t worry. We’ll be with you every step of the way as you experience what it was really like as a ruler. And if you’re expecting a luxurious trip back in time, then you have another thing coming!

How a pharaoh’s day started

As the sun rises on a brand-new day, you immediately feel the privilege of your lofty position. Each morning, you see, the pharaoh was greeted by a large group of attendants. And their job was pretty simple: to prepare their leader for the day ahead. We hope you’re ready to be pampered!

Ancient bathroom routine

After getting out of bed, your attendants will wash you from head to toe. Then, once that’s done, you may want to follow in the footsteps of other pharaohs such as Hatshepsut. She made a point of applying oils to her skin. If her fancy title didn’t make her status known, then her unique scent sure did.

Dressing yourself

Anyway, when you’re done in the bathroom, it’s time to get dressed. But hold your horses — you’re not doing that by yourself, either. Yep, more servants will pick out an outfit for you. At least that means you won’t be stuck on what to wear, even if all these helping hands sound like a little much.
