Mysteries of Egypt Video 

Legendary actor and native Egyptian Omar Sharif joins National Geographic's award-winning filmmakers to weave a fascinating story of a grandfather who enchants his granddaughter with tales of tombs and treasures. Through the magic of breathtaking large-format cinematography, you'll soar over the Nile, the longest river on Earth, cross the deathly quiet Valley of the Kings, and peer inside the shadowy chambers of King Tut's tomb. Then go behind the scenes in a special 30-minute bonus program to get a rare insider's look at what it takes to create a film that's shown on a movie screen eight stories tall.
