Immersive games set in Ancient Egypt

Oh, there is also this piece of strange: 7 Grand Steps. It's not really specified that it's set in Egypt, but crocs are included, along with some social and cultural aspects.
A hybrid of King of Dragon Pass and a board game. The top social layer has KoDP-like management, and you can participate in multiple-choice kinda-legends with your character, bit like in KoDP.
It's cool, but simplistic. It was supposed to be the first part of a series, but was never continued.

Even further from an imsim though

Egypt: Old Kingdom is a remake of Predynastic Egypt, by the same devs.
If you decide on playing those, I recommend the older version - I remember gameplay there being a lot tigher. Overall, excluding some eyecandy present in Old Kingdom, the older one is just a better game.
Clarus Victoria games are quite an aquired taste though, so your milage may wary. Very simplistic, mechanics speaking.

Already played it and enjoyed it. But both games are rather short and simplistic, as you said – I'd like to sink my teeth into something more substantial if possible.

Regarding Children of the Nile, which was mentioned above - I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Here is my post advertising the shit out of that game + a link to a modern resolution/compatibility patch.
It's way, way more immersive than Pharaoh (which may be a better game, but it's uber gamey in comparison).

I'll check it out, thanks

Just wanted to say I once had an idea for a cRPG set in Egypt, and the way character generation would work was that a team of researchers was investigating a tomb, and based on how they analyzed the elements present, that was what would determine your character.

Last I checked Baghdad wasn't in Egypt.
