Egyptian Desert
With a total of 27 sets, although some likewise sets have been released under different numbers, Egyptian Desert is the largest of the Adventurers themes. It's widely regarded as probably the best one too! The Egyptian Desert sets were the first released as part of the Adventurers line. Most sets were released in 1998, except for four sets released in 1999. The theme takes the Adventurers to Egypt searching for the world's largest ruby - Re-Gou, encountering Mummys, Skeletons and of course the two bandits Mr. Hates and Slyboots. Egyptian Desert was clearly inspired by the Indiana Jones movies.
