Cairo pyramids from you so near

In the morning, we have set in the hotel door, yesterday and the drivers turning good time he didn't meet to elderly people in Egypt, time seems to have lost his effectiveness, local people always orderly in their operating life.

30 minutes later, the driver laughing for us. I hope I'm not delayed too much time to catch up in the morning sun is so intense exposure, not many tourists also, our car drove towards the pyramid.

Pyramids of the word in my heart weight and its mystery finally released today.

Car slowly away, getting around the yellow sand, riding a camel traders, the car through a facade sizes low shops, a sudden turn.

That is the pyramid!

Sphinx is against us, in the early morning sunlight is very quiet.

With questions about slowly approached.

The nearest is the Sphinx. Also known as: Sphinx. Arabic called "Arbre. Dutch Lu" (father of terror). Like head carved into the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt to the fourth King Cabra avatar, it is a day of Lion, it targets the East face looking down.

At this point we have to use numbers to concretization of his enormous.

Sphinx 57 m in length, up to 20 m, face about 5 meters long, only the head, ears and 2 meters, the Arabs invaded Egypt, took off his nose, United Kingdom and the person who took it's beard (now in the British Museum). The 18th century when Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, in order to attempt to open the entrance to access internal, shelled and destroyed its face. 4500 years ago and built it, after a time of baptism, the ravages of war, and today still watching the Oriental.

Sphinx of the rear are three large pyramid: hufu, Hough la Wang, door Carla King.

Down the slope of the road slowly, came to their feet. Khufu original high-146 m, now pyramid roof is gone, the only remaining 137 m, but the visible top of the Tower of the central support of iron is used to represent the original tower height.

Went ahead, many of the mysteries are presented here: such a large boulders in the 80s is how barrier becomes so high; stone and stone even between sheets also plug into not; its construction is how clever heavenly and mathematical geometry.

Until now, the scientific community of scholars also in constant searching.

Pyramid is prohibited person climbing, tourism police patrol of back and forth at any time.

Had to try to approach these boulders, want to heart and it is closer to rely on.

Lunch soon, visitors more, some of the tourist bus also took the team slowly into.

Riding camels, cries 10LE ride once. Travel has also been warned before, never in the pyramid sights, camel riding, so for these shout reset and ignore it, but we row 7 in 1-bit but resist such temptation on a camel. Say good 20LE, but looks like it is not up to her, in a far away from the pyramids of scarce crowd, she had to be forced to pay above the camels 20 dollars as a condition to return here. I took the camera to capture some local camel riding, after pressing the shutter, also they ran for 10 dollars a tip.

Pyramid is famous worldwide, and those in the pyramid is equally famous bad traders.

Although there are tourist police, but they also have to be careful. If you do not need to, I always refused.

The JISA, go to the next destination: Segala.

In the car had prepared cakes and water (two-face is made of flour for bread, intermediate with chopped into pieces of meat) this is our lunch.

JISA pyramid is famous because of the tall, but I personally prefer the Segala's trapezium pyramids.

Also the original pyramid shape, this quiet, relative to the visitors here also JISA much less.

Saqqara pyramid is the keystone of seven layers, the more the bottom, the more narrow up layers area, constitutes a trapezoid.

As an aid to the third dynasty Pharaoh, Sergio mausoleum in the pyramid also some well-preserved buildings, forming a line of stone tomb group. We passed through a stone pillar portico of arranging sequential, afternoon sunlight penetrating the great one, very beautiful stone irradiation.

In Saqqara around some altars and temples, and other attractions.

Attractions of Arabs, wearing a gown wrapped scarves, accept small tips, active as we lead the way and provide the explanation.

Here, have to want to read all of the pyramid, because of their different characteristics, but are not so far.

Generation of Shu hull pyramid, is the next station.

Go there and the beautiful scenery along the way, is a quiet rural scenery.

Brown of the desert, visible to Greenland, the lake edge mango and a word of jujube tree, the Sun's rays penetrate large banana leaf and irradiation, local farmers working in the field, I heard the sound of the car stopped and curious to watch our yellow skin of visitors. This is different on the outskirts of Cairo.

Generation 2-broken Angel pyramid.

Red Pyramid is quite distinctive. Because it uses red rock structure, its profile is an equilateral triangle, is the true meaning of "pyramid". In the middle of the Red Pyramid is one third of a portal, our ticket is included the cost of entry for visitors. So together along the artificial opening from the outside of a path towards the entrance. The door had good tourists gave us a flashlight. Down the narrow stairs go down, the body would not be able to stand straight, bend at the waist, only begins at the entrance of light also is able to board the ladder, but down 7-8 meters to see anything, the more entry will smell a decadent flavor. The lower part, open the flashlight shines walls, woke up eyes and internal cavity is so great, there are also painted on the walls of the patterns, but in the ground for thousands of years of impermeable taste really unpleasant, force us to quickly climbed up from the entrance, a cool breeze blowing. In the outside stairs, my legs a little shake. In this way then 2-3Day trips, we also do not like normal people move around like that.

Seat on the bus, a generation of Shu, of hull is aware of the fact that here in Egypt's military bases around still, out of the way visible with poles around the net, the attachment is not for visitors to rest.

In the drive to Memphis is the late hour, the door is closed.

We still get off through the iron gate, in the courtyard of a 1912 was found in 10 meters of the Sphinx, has kept intact.

With regret on the bus, near the local children come to us, I readily took few ink pen gave them $, children are delighted: "with their hard! learn your motherland of great culture"

Miss Memphis, don't want to miss the JISA of sunset.

Ask the driver to drive back to the first stop, my friends and I wanted to make some amateur photographers sunset JISA. What can be known in the way the driver and tour guide, he simply brings us to the paper sedge Museum and perfume bottle Trade Department. Positive characteristics of the Egypt travel articles to us, that is not to buy it, just a few minutes. His enthusiasm and wishful thinking really let us refuse, into the door listening to craft custom do, think of a hurry, you can only promise that we will again to patronize.

Due to the delayed on the way, the door shut and the admission.

Opposite the entrance of the restaurant on the second floor kendeji, edge eat their dinner, looking out the window side of the beautiful sunset of the pyramids. As the sky color changes, pyramid-shaped outline is rendered silhouette constantly clear.

In Egypt on the traveler, time is precious, our journey in a ring buckle.

Night holding a heavy luggage arrived in Cairo railway station, the departure from Shanghai 14 people get together here.

Seat on a train to Aswan.

Tonight will be in the car had.
