History
The Egyptian Theatre is surrounded by urban legend and Boise history that makes this building a tour of Boise history and a cornerstone of the society scene.
It was first opened in 1927. The building was built in the model of the newly discovered King Tut's tomb. Over time it was changed repeatedly. Then in 1999, it was remodeled once again after the original building.
Now, it now runs movies and concerts.
The theater is architecturally significant as one of the few surviving theaters from the grand cinema and movie palace era in Boise.
