The Age of Myths moderator suggested I ask here since some of you have games set in Egypt.
The search function is not working for me and I have searched online as well, so forgive me if there is a thread for this already. My online search results tend to result in broken links, out of stock items, and disappointment. I'm looking for what can pass as ancient Egyptian buildings (dwellings rather than pyramids, temples, tombs, ruins, and such) for 20mm. The models I'm using are 1/72 scale and are about 23mm tall on average.
Someone in the other forum suggested Hovels resin 15mm Middle East terrain, but I'm not sure of the size (or at least the door height).

Hovels are a good idea, but I think 15mm will be too small for your minis. But since the 25mm Hovels are "true" 25mm (and hence too small for todays 28mm and beyond figures) , they could fit quite fine.
Best Regards,

Not my period/obsession, so I don't have a specific manufacturer, but I have seen too many examples at shows/wargame mags/pinterest sites not to believe there aren't a few. I half recall an old War-games Illustrated article on making your own middle-eastern type buildings from foam core, so might be worth a deep google dive for that. Such buildings would fit ideally with a manufacturer like 4Ground that makes laser cut pdf terrain, although I did check their site and found a distinct lack of what you are after in 20mm. Hopefully someone will have a better answer than mine - good luck

Because Egyptian architecture trends to the huge, when I did my 28mm Pulp Egyptian archeological dig I used repurposed toys. Before you reject the idea because my collection is 28mm and because repurposed toys don't seem very credible, take a look at the second half of my Pulp Egyptian collection... the second half of that gallery is where the ancient Egyptian structures are located; the first half of the gallery is a Pulp era Egyptian town. To see this go to my vanity website and scroll down to the picture and words that identify the Pulp Egyptian gallery. Click on the picture and scroll down through the pictures until you come to the pictures of the ancient Egyptian structures; it's a big gallery of 110 pictures. Trust me you'll have fun. There is a lengthy write up that goes with the pictures describing what I used in the collection. You can find my galleries at www.warin15mm.com

That was truly impressive, and I wasn't expecting to see the "Queen" of Egypt. I'm of a similar mindset in that toys, aquarium decorations, bookends, etc. would be perfect for the larger structures.
