The pharaoh would have been like any other ruler and had to deal with the various and sometimes tedious affairs of state and the economy.
He had advisers including a vizier or prime minister and would have regularly consulted with the leading generals of his military.
As the pharaoh was seen as a "living god" he or she in the case of a small group of woman including Hatshepsut who ruled as pharaohs in their entirety,would have also had to preform rituals and rites at the inner sanctum or "Holy of Holies" in the main temple complexes such as Karnak.
On special festival days such as the Valley Festival and the Opet festival the pharaoh along with his Great Wife and heir would appear in front of the people giving them a glimpse of their living god ruler, in much the same way as the Queen of England makes regular appearances on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
There are many depictions of Ahkenaton and his family greeting the people from the "Window of Apperances"of the royal palace.
His leisure time would have likely been spent with his family in his private quaters of the palace and entertaining visiting ambassadors and dignitaries and hosting lavish feasts.
The ancient Egyptain noble classes enjoyed entertaining,taking boat rides on thier private man made lakes and canals as well as talking walks in thier exotic gardens filled with the lastest plants imported from the African subcontinent and Asia.
From wall releifs we know they enjoyed watching the antics of actobats and dwarfs preform and of course listening to music and storytellers was also a popular leisure activity.
