Pharaoh uses the engine from Caesar III but moves the setting to Ancient Egypt where you oversee the building of a city to ensure citizens are fed, employed, healthy and protected from diseases, disasters and wars. An expansion pack titled Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile followed in 2000, and modern digital retailers sell the pair as a bundle entitled Pharaoh + Cleopatra
Since the game was derived from the engine to Caesar III a source port called Akhenaten was forked from the Augustus source port to run the game.
