The royal barge leaves for Alexandria at sunset, and pixel Cleopatra has spent a little too long admiring the pyramids. The servants have gone ahead with the luggage, her cat has gone ahead with the servants, and the only way to reach the river in time is to run across the desert in her best sandals. Get ready for the Pyramid Dash.
The road to the Nile is busy in the way only ancient Egypt can be: rows of clay jars waiting to be loaded, stone blocks left over from the latest building project, cats napping exactly where people need to walk and ibises swooping low over the dunes. Golden scarabs glint in the sand along the way. Grab them, keep running, and the barge might just wait for its queen.
