Neopedia : Sakhmet

Sakhmet Government: Monarchy with council
Current leader: Princess Amira
Primary exports: Sandfruits, Baggusses, and princesses
Primary Means of Transportation: Apis caravan



It can be said of Sakhmet that it is actually two cities; one for the nobles, and one that belongs to the rest of its citizens. The Palace and its surrounding district are sumptuous displays of desert wealth, from the gold jewellery that Princess Amira favours to the chilled slushies rushed straight from Terror Mountain before they can melt in the midday heat. The other city, the lower city, is filled with common merchants selling their wares, not to mention beggars and thieves. Perhaps the most famous of the thieves are the Desert Scarabs, a rough and rowdy band of disadvantaged Neopets with a skill for snatching fruit and outrunning the guards. It's safe enough to walk around in the daytime, though, as long as you keep one paw on your money.

Wherever you wind up staying, Sakhmet is an escape from the harsh environment of the Lost Desert. Well-watered by natural springs, Sakhmet boasts high walls to keep out the sandstorms that sweep across the plains outside. Of course, when the wind shifts, the Bagguss-degassing fields can be smelled all over the city, which, admittedly, is a bit unfortunate.
