Marketplace
Go to the marketplace front on the right and talk to the tradesman. Examine the water source behind him to play a hidden object minigame where you must find 12 valves. Examine the doors here to see they are nailed shut. Back out to the marketplace, then approach the souvenir stand for another hidden object minigame, which results in you finding some pincers.
Go back to the marketplace front and look at the doors beneath the water source. Use the pincers to remove the nails. Insert your 12 valves into matching spaces so that all the pipes are connected. Now you need to turn the valves to get water only flowing out through the third pipe on the right (with the blue marker). On the diagram below, the valves marked in green are open and those marked in red are closed:
Back out and talk to the tradesman again. Back out to the marketplace, then approach the minaret and talk to the Muezzin. Back out again and search the souvenir stand on the right.

Approach the minaret again and talk to the Muezzin, then beat him at a game of checkers.
Return to the marketplace, then go left to the gate to the necropolis. Go back, then search the left souvenir stand for a hidden object minigame. Head to the gate again and attach all the objects, then go through the gate.

You will end up with a necklace. Return to the necropolis and talk to the woman again. Go over to the mural on the right.

After talking with the guard, examine the papyrus on the table. Read all of the pages, then back out and talk to the spy. Cross the room to the arcade, and examine the table for a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a gold signet ring. Back out, then approach the shield on the wall behind the throne. Insert the gold signet ring here. Click on the circles to slide them around so they all match the pattern, then take the insignia of power.
Back out and talk to the spy again. Return to the arcade, then continue along the corridor and into the bedchambers. Talk to the foster mother. Go over to the chest - open it, put the insignia inside, and close it again. Return to talk to the spy. Look up at the terrace here, then return to the bedchambers. Examine the area by the pool and play the hidden object minigame, which results in finding a stele fragment. Talk to the spy and then the foster mother.
Go back to the corridor and go forward to the Sorceress' lair - you need to wake up the mask on the wall here. Back out and examine the stairs to find 12 crystals. Go back to the mask and insert the 12 crystals. Back out again and look at the jugs to the left. Play a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a jug. Go back to the arcade and play 2 more hidden object minigames, which result in finding an oil lamp and 12 mural fragments.
Out in the throne room, talk to the guard and to Mengesh. Go over to the arcade and examine the mural on the wall. Insert your mural pieces, then solve the puzzle (you can rotate the pieces and flip them over as well). Click on the completed mural, then light your oil lamp from one of the flames.
Go back to the bedchambers and examine the swimming pool. Collect some spring water in your jug. Examine the area by the pool and play the hidden object minigame, which results in finding a knife. Go out to the arcade. Look at the mural for a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a snake egg. Look at the table for another hidden object minigame, which results in finding kiwi fruit.
Go to the bedchambers again. In the area by the pool, examine the wooden chest. Play a matching minigame, which results in finding a hairpin - you cannot pick this up yet. Go back to the corridor and look at the jugs on the left. Use your knife on the membrane around the top of a drum here to remove it. Go back to the hairpin in the bedchambers and attach the membrane and the kiwi fruit, then pick up the slingshot. Return to the throne room and look up at the terrace again. Shoot the eagle with your slingshot and a feather will fall down. Back in the throne room, go right to the balcony. Play a hidden object minigame, which results in finding the feather.
Return to the bedchambers and talk to the foster mother - the baby is crying. Examine the area by the pool and play the hidden object minigame, which results in finding a harp string.

Alexandria
Back out to talk to the woman in the necropolis again. Go to the corner of the garden to play a hidden object minigame, which results in finding some shears. Head left to the Mausoleum's wall. Look at the niche, then use the shears here multiple times until you reveal a mural and some moss.
Back out and talk to the woman, then return out to the marketplace. Go to the minaret and talk to the Muezzin. Back out and go right to the marketplace front. Talk to the tradesman, then examine the water source. Play a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a brush.
Go back through the gate to the necropolis and to the niche again. Use your brush on the moss, then your 4 tile fragments on the recess. Piece these together and insert them properly to reveal another tile minigame. Rearrange these tiles to form a picture with an empty space in the bottom right. Go out and talk to the woman - solve her matching minigame to get a wrench.
Look at the pond on the right. Use your wrench on the broken valve to drain the pond. Look in the pond and pick up the mosaic tile. Return to the niche and insert this - unfortunately the opening that appears isn't large enough.
Go back out to the marketplace. Examine the souvenir stand on the left. Find 17 differences, and you will end up with a crowbar. Use this on the opening to make it wider, then head down into the chamber. Now it is too dark to see anything. Go back out to the marketplace and look at the far souvenir stand. Play a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a torch. Head right and talk to the tradesman, then light your torch from his flame. Next go to the minaret and talk to the Muezzin.
