The King Tut Treasure Tour is no longer active.

Listed below are the clues for the King Tut Treasure Tour, which ran until the end of the exhibition on September 30, 2007.

Cache 1: Treasure of Tut Clue:
Tut's favorite things are on display in this building. Let his image guide you to the entrance of the Temple.

Cache 2: City of The King Clue:
Enter the doorways to the past to find Amarna, the ancient city that tells the tale of the Boy King's childhood. Look for the clue in the entrance way.

Cache 3: Words of a Pharaoh Clue:
Here you'll find Philadelphia's version of the great Library of Alexandria where you can read for free. Look for Anne Rice's The Mummy.

Cache 4: Sphinx on Canvas Clue:
Head to the nation's oldest museum and school of fine arts. Enter the building and turn left to find a room where sphinx lives on canvas.

Cache 5: Egyptian Hall Clue:
What temple of an ancient order boasts an impressive Egyptian hall? Head into the "Marketplace" for your mark.

Cache 6: Pharaoh's Bounty Clue:
Food fit for a king can be found at this local marketplace. Walk a mile in Tut's shiny shoes to find the bounty.

Cache 7: Egyptian Jewels Clue:
Crown jewels for all eternity can be found on this famous block, which is nicknamed "row". In front of #719, you'll discover gold.

Cache 8: Teaching the Travelers Clue:
Visitors to Philadelphia should make this place their first stop to learn about local treasures. Find your own treasure among the brochures.

Cache 9: River Travels Clue:
Tut's royal barge would fit in well at this museum of the sea. Head to where you would buy a (miniature) vessel for your voyage.

Cache 10: Crossing the Banks of the Nile Clue:
Ferry over to see and touch creatures of the water world. Along the promenade, just pass the entrance, is where your orange odyssey will end.

Cache 11: Ancient Wall Painting Clue:
You will not find a physical cache here. Instead, do as the ancient Egyptians did and discover your clue by reading the symbols etched on the mural. Your stamp is the first letter of the name of the ruler pictured on the lower medal.

Cache 12: Egypt-A-Delphia Clue:
Head to a city made of sand in a square named after Philadelphia's most famous inventor. Decipher the hieroglyphics on the far left obelisk to discover the location of the cache.
