The Search

Series 1 | Episode 4 | Egypt

A contestant in Egypt

The remaining six contestants go back 5,000 years in history to Egypt. They must travel through the land of the Pharaohs until they retrace the steps of Moses on the March of Exodus.

The two teams explore the disused pyramids of Dashur. Descending 300 feet underground, they need to follow the path of the tomb raiders to find the ancient light-wells that will reveal their next destination, Giza.

Giza is home to the Great Pyramid, the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the World. Below it lies the Sphinx, perhaps the world's most iconic monument. Inside the Sphinx's tomb The Search treasure hunters must solve the ancient mystery of the God Horus, the All-Seeing Eye.

From here they enter the deserted Cairo Museum at night, searching through the golden relics of Tutankhamen and the world's greatest collections of priceless Mummies.

The contestants' final destination is Mount Sinai. After visiting the Burning Bush, they must climb to the point where Moses received the 10 Commandments.
