Egypt, also known as Desert, was an Adventurers subtheme released in 1998 based on the northeastern African country of the same name. The sets were centered around Egyptian and related North African archaeology and culture.
Plot[]
The adventurers have traveled to Egypt to find the legendary Re-Gou Ruby, which is said to have magical powers. It is under the protection by the undead Pharaoh Hotep.
