How can Queen Cleopatra prove to Julius Caesar that Egypt is still a great nation? She promises to build him a magnificent palace within three months, and commissions Edifis, the best architect in Alexandria … which isn`t saying much.

Luckily Edifis has an old friend in Gaul, Getafix the druid. Getafix, Asterix and Obelix - not forgetting little Dogmatix - go to Egypt to help on the building site. By the time they have seen the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and have outwitted several villains and the Roman army, they certainly deserve their luxurious voyage home on Cleopatra`s state barge - and the Queen has won her bet with Caesar.
