This is Busch Gardens’ newest “land” and one of its smallest, at least in terms of strolling space and amenities. Its primary purpose is to give the mega-coaster Montu a home. The King Tut attraction seems a bit of an afterthought, and the only eatery here is a kiosk dispensing snacks. The shopping is a bit more elaborate but not much.
The design evokes upper Egypt as it might have looked about the time Howard Carter was unearthing King Tut’s treasure. The scale is appropriately grandiose but the statuary and wall carvings fall well short of the originals. Still, it’s pleasant enough. There’s a clever “archaeological dig, ” called Sifting Sands, that is, in fact, a shaded sand box in which little ones can uncover the past.
A small selection of midway games is also offered. For most people, however, Egypt will be glimpsed briefly en route to the massive temple gates at the end, beyond which lurks the terrifying Montu.
