Travel to Chicago to see King Tut
Filed in archive vacation possibilities by Melissa Petri on May 29, 2006

Tutankhamun, you do not have to travel all the way to Egypt to get a glimpse of his life and all those jewels. You can leave that passport behind and just head to Chicago for the "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibit which opened last Friday. As reported by msn, King Tut wows the Windy City. Tut-mania will ensue until the 1st of January 2007. "The show features more than 130 treasures from the resting place of the boy king and other royal tombs, all between 3,000 and 3,500 years old.".
In cooperation with several hotels, The Field Museum (venue) are also offering hotel packages for out-of-towners. If you stay overnight, you can book a special package that includes VIP tickets to see Tut and hotel packages which also entitles you to a complimentary breakfast, fitness center privileges and vale parking. Not to worry, you are given several hotel choices to fit your budget and taste.
Spend a couple more days and discover what this culturally diverse city has to offer.
