Al Simhara

Al Simhara is a pre-made destination sub-neighborhood introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures along with Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims.

Description
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. An Egyptian trip costs §1600 for the first Sim and §1000 for each additional Sim.
