Al Simhara

Al Simhara (السمهرة) is a pre-made destination sub-world that was introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures along with Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims.

Overview
Al Simhara is an ancient land built against a river, full of magic and mystery. It is a land of mummies, pyramids, and crocodiles. It is found in Egypt and features activities and items drawn from Egyptian culture. The name is a reference to the Sahara Desert of Egypt. This town features fully explorable tombs and hidden tombs, including famous Egyptian landmarks such as the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Sims can explore these landmark tombs, thereby undertaking adventures. The company MorcuCorp features strongly in these adventures. It is an excellent subhood for Sims to improve their Photography skill. There are numerous pre-made families in Al Simhara, although they all, unfortunately, lack description texts and money. A trip to Al Simhara costs §1600 for one Sim and §1000 for each additional Sim.

Features

 * At night a gentle glow lights up at the bases of the Pyramids.
 * The entire world is so hot that there is a visible heat haze during the daylight hours.
