Great combination of events and two very good tour experiences. The Aquarium is much smaller than anticipated but is worthwhile. Pharaohs tour was awesome, very informative and unique

The Pharaoh displays were of the highest standard and was an excellent experience. Reading about them and seeing the way they were embalmed was very interesting. The Aquarium was wonderful to look at. It was on par with Singapore Aquarium.
