Aswan dusk of the Philippines to Temple

In the train had a bump in the night, no sleeper, 3 people sit side by side, six were in a narrow space.

Our location also from Egypt map of Northeast moves to South-East side of the city of Aswan. It is world heritage cultural temple.

About train at noon, all southern Egypt sunlight intensity.

Think now or winter, the temperature is 30 degrees already is. Station small van waiting to take us to the hotel. (In order to eliminate the hassle of a journey in search of a hotel in Cairo, has a more formal undertaking travel prepaid Aswan two night's room charge. 1 night 15 El lb/1 persons room with own sanitary shower)

Egypt tourism developed between the city and urban Inns boss will co-operate on business.

Of course, when you select and pay even more careful.

Welcome to hotel boss enthusiasm, not the first let's check in luggage, and start up a business, very stubborn demands we must participate in the tours, here he chartered bus to various attractions.

We graciously, he stacked up smiles broke into convergence. We have no choice but to say that now is the 1 p.m., but also not dripping. Whether or not to lay down their luggage. He that promised to give us the keys.

Redeeming the room was better than expected to clean, small but clean and tidy, 2 beds in the room with the health and a hot shower, plus a balcony.

A late 15-Egyptian pounds, what DUN na!

Out of the hotel, located in the street and eat, the way to see if there's a minibus to attractions.

Aswan town centre, very quiet street distribution, trunk along the Nile and spreading.

Ideal for walking or cycling.

In the streets there are many small restaurants and cafés.

We found a home in nearby gear-style restaurant, in the side of the sitting, eating skewered with bread, about 10 minutes they sent a lunch. Don't want to waste time in the afternoon, continue to inquire about private dining out. Very strange local owners asking price is relatively high, finds out we didn't break anything, even not willing to give us the owner doesn't allow it.

As a result, and the hotel boss out private costs and location, the car was finally launched to the Aswan Dam.

Aswan Dam's name is not strange, because of its famous would like to see this huge project.

Car in the middle of the bridge, get off.

Seemingly calm water of the Nile, now already visible from 1889, the United Kingdom authorities of colonial rule in the construction of the project. It is far from Lotus-shaped dam monument to constantly remind people, a few years later in 1960, the Government of Egypt and Soviet Union again successful engineering cooperation.

The dam was not particularly worth watching.

After a short stay, went iciz (Philippines) Temple.

Car for a while, after a stop, the ferry to the island's attractions need to take local ferry boat about seat 20 to people, about ten minutes to reach the Philippine Islands.

Egypt has 2 important heritage migration project.

One is Abu usimbe Temple, the other is my eyes in the Philippines to the island.

Due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, in order to protect the Temple from being flooded, the migration project was completed in 1980.

Projects must have been really great.

Follow the steps on the temple, in large blocks of stone carved with iciz, gods, but also told people with a touching eternal love.

Iciz husband Osiris poisoned by brother Cess, iciz back her husband's body, was again found Cess, Cess body after chopped into 14 block respectively dropped iciz tearful recovered the body and will flatten them. She's touching behavior makes Osiris has once again risen in this island iciz gave birth to the God Huo Luce.

Alone in the island-you go through the Colonnade, with huge door, to surround the small island of Nile water.

The sun shines in stone, they are dyed blonde, accompanied by calm water of the Nile, like iciz is still there and still keep their own husbands.

Only hear the sound of the engine, a ferry that is going to leave this island sometimes.

Sitting stairs waiting for a companion.

The other sat next to a guide, ask us where in Egypt so much day old being admitted into Japan, Korea or Singapore. Maybe China visitors ratio in Asia not large in. We answered that is China, he will smile, a standard of Putonghua blurted out, this is also attributable to him in a Beijing University of Chinese. Egypt tourist guide most speak English, but can rarely speak Chinese. Egypt and China are ancient civilizations, friendly people, too. Hope in the future to Egypt's history to more Chinese tourists.

Ferry to open, and say goodbye to him, we got into the boat.

Sunset evening of film to the island like the Beatles a layer of gold. The Nile will always protect the small island, xiangyi Sith determined to catch up with his husband Osiris. Slowly the island is becoming more and more small, gradually disappeared from the Nile water.

Back to the hotel for a short rest.

Changed the sandals, go out to her, walk along the Nile trunk will not be lost, and peer recognition is the girl, claiming to be argued way-like a compass-like. So we'll leap forward. So relaxed that the initial fatigue from travel, enjoy the exotic flavors.

Trunk of Nile side dock with many white Buddha Rocca, from time to time there are five-star cruise ship dotted with.

Enjoy the charm of this unique, before you know it from the street to the other side of the head. It's also in our chat walked Dim.

Visit a decision is to sit in the white sails of the Nile, sit for a few hours however, consultation we agreed on the Nile river rafting for a night, trip from Aswan until Qom ombu.

Well, scattered about the price, the experience of representations, the other day and now we are accustomed to dealing with Egypt were way to reach a deal.

Shop aroundMust be the owner doesn't allow is essential steps. In this way we finalize costs, prepay half full after leaving the United States.

Think about the next morning to get up early, to Abu SIM Bay.

Bought the second day of doing good and water returned to the hotel.

Prayer of the Arabs in the Qur'an, slowly gone to sleep.
