Sand City Hurghada

This guide to Sand City in Hurghada opens with a five-meter pharaoh's head built from nothing but wet sand and water, no glue, no rebar, and the seven-month build across 2013 and 2014 that brought sculptors from Spain, Brazil and Egypt to test whether a museum meant to fall apart could last. You'll hear how they hauled in thousands of tons of sand and water, and how the park splits into ancient legends on one side and cartoon heroes on the other. Look closely at the carved layers to see what's kept them holding their shape.
