Sais
is really Sais (Sa el-Hagar), Egypt
Real place, reimagined
How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A Delta town under the protection of the goddess Neith, groaning under heavy taxes and a curfew.
The real place
Sais was the capital of Egypt's 26th Dynasty and a cult centre of Neith. Little survives: farmers carried off most of the mudbrick for fertiliser, and only a few relief blocks remain on site.
Visiting
This is one for dedicated history fans only, as there is very little to see and no tourist infrastructure. A local driver from Tanta helps.
