Sunken Cities of Egypt: More than 1,200 years ago, two ancient cities were lost to natural disaster and the rising tides of the Mediterranean Sea. Two decades ago, underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team discovered those cities, revealing monumental statues, religious images carved in stone, exquisite jewelry, and delicate ceramics – and a greater understanding of life during the age of Pharaohs. Don't miss this epic story of their discovery! The museum and grounds are wheelchair accessible except for the interior of Air Force One. For those visitors who are unable to walk through the aircraft, a wheelchair lift is provided to access the entry of the plane to view the flight deck and communication center. Additionally, elevator access is available at the rear entrance and a special photo album located next to the airplane is available for viewing.
