Deals and DiscountsMany Philly attractions are offering discounts to Tut exhibition ticket holders. For instance, a Franklin Institute ticket stub will take $3 off the price of admission to the Lights of Liberty Show, an ambulatory sound-and-light tour that runs from April to October. And for those looking to take in some mini-golf, the same ticket stub gets a dollar off a round of putt-putt at Franklin Square’s new course, from March through September 2007. Knowledge seekers who crave still more ancient Egypt can sign up for special day-long seminars in February at Temple University. Topics include the history of Egyptian archaeology and King Tut’s role in it, plus the opportunity to be a part of a private group tour of The Franklin Institute’s Tut exhibition. Just across the Delaware River in Camden, New Jersey, the Adventure Aquarium will put on a daily show that demystifies the legends of some of Egypt’s most revered and feared animals, including the hippopotamus, crocodile, eel and others. Find more deals at GoPhila.com Rest and Relaxation Tut-StyleIf all of this touring leaves travelers ready for some rest and relaxation, the staff at Rescue Rittenhouse Spa Lounge is eager to indulge patrons with its new Cleopatra Rescue Treatment, designed in honor of Philadelphia’s Egyptian festivities. Long honored for her beauty and early use of makeup, Cleopatra’s modern-day treatment infuses her favorite ingredients—milk and honey—into a head-to-toe facial, exfoliation and face and scalp massage, followed by a purifying and cleansing mask. Those eager to adorn their bodies with Cleopatra-like jewels can head over to Halloween, a narrow, two-floor boutique overflowing with gold, silver, jewels and gems of all kinds. Owner Henri David is specially designing jewelry and home accents to complement his pre-existing array of Egyptian styles. Customers should look for highly embellished rings, bangles, earrings, brooches and table pieces made of sterling silver, white diamonds, yellow gold and opals. Eat and Drink Like a KingNothing says royalty more than fine dining and drinking. In Old City, the exotic Tangerine restaurant is preparing a special Tut-inspired menu that is sure to tantalize the taste buds. Afterwards, diners can head to the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia for Pharaoh’s Indulgence, a dessert inspired by foods Tut himself might have enjoyed: pomegranates, figs, almonds, dates and honey. A taste of liquid royalty awaits at McGillin’s Olde Ale House, Philadelphia’s oldest continuously running tavern, offering the King Tut-ini, a martini made with vodka and Goldschlager, poured into a gold-sugar rimmed glass.

The African American Museum in Philadelphia hosts a new exhibition, "The Art of African Women: Empowering Traditions," now through May 6, 2007. Philadelphia is the first city to host this Schomberg Center traveling show featuring the work of world-renowned photojournalist Margaret Courtney-Clarke. The retrospective collection of the artist’s work, built over a 20-year period, features a stunning combination of colorful photographs, textiles and artifacts that pay tribute to the beauty rural African women create in their daily lives. It also shows the artistic traditions that these artists and entrepreneurs have been handed down from generation to generation. The exhibition is part of Clarke’s commitment to bringing public attention to the work of the women throughout Africa. While many Philadelphia area establishments are welcoming King Tut with specials honoring the exhibit, many more offer a taste of Egypt all year long. Add dimension to your Tut experience by discovering Philly's Egyptian side. |
