| 0:00.0 | This is StoryQuest. Today's story is... |
| 0:05.0 | The Magic Car and the Mummy Mystery. |
| 0:11.5 | It all started when the Patel family landed in Cairo for their holiday. |
| 0:17.0 | Maya, aged 11, her little brother Rafi was eight and their parents stepped outside the airport, |
| 0:23.9 | into heat like an oven, dragging sun cream, hats and far too many bags. |
| 0:30.1 | Maya and Rafi were too excited to be tired. They were excited and looking forward to an adventure. |
| 0:35.6 | They had begged and begged their parents for a holiday with a difference, instead of boring old buckets and spades in wet and windy whales. Taxi called Dad waving as he grappled with the suitcases. Out of the line of cabs came one that made Maya blink. All the others were white. This wasn't |

| 1:53.9 | holidays to Egypt do tend to be a bit more than the whole wet and windy whales thing. And a |
| 1:58.6 | detour might mean seeing a few more sights on the way, which, as it |
| 2:03.2 | happens, they certainly would. The car engine rumbled, louder than any taxi should. The streets of |
| 2:10.8 | Cairo blurred, lights flickered, the sound of car horns faded, Mike gasped. Mum, Dad, look. |
| 2:18.9 | Out the windows, skyscrapers dissolved into sand dunes. |
