For me, archaeology is not a just a job. It combines everything that I could want - imagination, intellect, action, and adventure.

President Obama in his Replica Dr. Hawass Hat
When President Obama and I were in the Khufu Boat Museum, I gave him this replica of my lucky hat. He thought it would not fit his head, because he says he has a very large head, but when he put it on, we saw that it fit him perfectly. Then I told him how the hat has a noble purpose, which is to raise money for the redevelopment of the Suzanne Mubarak Children’s Museum in Cairo. I truly enjoyed spending time with this great man and I am glad we shared this fun moment at Giza.
