Egypt is a desert covers large areas of the country, the Nile throughout Egypt, it is most of the Nile, the downstream countries due to the scarcity of water in the desert, Egypt people are concentrated in the Nile to life.

Egypt and we like to be a "Egypt features" the socialist countries. Egypt featured at point: visit the Mummy, pyramid, Temple; crossing the Sahara; Red Sea holiday; Hariri market shopping. Egypt specialties: paper Sedge, flavor, and tobacco.

First stop: Alexander

High speed all the way from Cairo airport, we arrived in Egypt in the North of the city of Alexandria, Egypt's summer like here on vacation, because it is close to the Eastern Mediterranean.

Summer Palace is Egypt's famous Royal Palace, is now Egypt banquet VIP place Hu, jiangdu were here to stay, we will just have to visit the outside. Alexandria Library is Egypt's largest libraries affiliated with the University of Alexandria, only allow students to enter, adults and visitors are not allowed to enter, it's really strange requirement no Pompeii column!!!, is a barren land remains a pillar, a bit like our corner of the Winter Palace, historical records of Egypt had put the Roman leaders Pompeii's head on it, surrounded by the people he killed in Egypt. Lunch we enjoyed the Egypt of flavor — scones + yuxian, although not used but out of curiosity + hunger, or eat half the job. Here in Egypt's enthusiasm, we coach of Office, they were all active aside and we greet, unexpected enthusiasm.

Egypt Museum — the most mysterious and wonderful treasures

In the evening we have moved into the hotel near the pyramids in Cairo, the pyramids to visit tomorrow.

This hotel room is really big, I lived in the biggest rooms, one large bed room 40 m² plus a 15 square meters of surface. It's very cow!!!

13 in the morning we went to Egypt Museum, here let each want to learn more about the Mummy secrets of people excited, we are no exception, there cannot be a photographic, we understand that this is their treasures.

Egypt Museum complete collection of sakaltutan-Hamon's tomb unearthed treasures: mummies, eight layers of coffin, funerary, this is the only one not Egypt were stolen before Pharaoh's Tomb. Because this Pharaoh did not build the pyramids, but see themselves buried in the depths of the mountain, is a France archaeologists discovered it, but found that the seven days of archaeologists and workers died, is a mysterious curse, cannot help but to fight cold chestnut. These relics from 3500 years workmanship, well-preserved, funerary most let me surprise: Pharaoh hunting trip to sleep with row bed can collapse, with hinges and now the same, this is 3500 years ago, the stuff is Egypt people too smart or really alien help legends? the mystery of the Mummy, not to mention, the Museum holds sakaltutan-Hamon full Mummy Tomb, and cremated in about mummies of the entire production process.

Pyramid-the world's greatest architectural

Afternoon visit to the pyramids, the Sphinx is called author, TV in the maximum of Khufu is in my eyes, mysterious and spectacular, this is 5000 years of civilization.

I personally went into the Interior of the pyramid, although only open a little, but enough to let me stimulated, unutterable. Sphinx is on my side, almost touched me from a different angle and pyramids, Sphinx photo, sorry for the camera belt. Because of too appreciate this great architecture, the last one morning he went to the pyramids, haha!

Luxor-Egypt's largest, most complete Sun Temple

13 night we climbed from Cairo to Luxor train, 8 hours drive, Let's enjoy the train on the 2 rooms.

Egypt's sleeper is 2 rooms, in-room and wash with water, but not the bathroom, the train offers free dinner and breakfast service very good, strong than the Chinese train. Luxor's most famous Temple of the Sun is the need to come to 5 generations of the Pharaoh is here to worship the Sun God, each Pharaoh is based on the original repair cover constantly, and also their temples erected a monument. Temples, monuments are very high, and the monument is a complete rock carving, a height of 50 meters to 420 tons of pure artificial erected. Clever people in Egypt Nile summer rose water to the monument, and then use angle here, use sand down force + artificial traction will be erected monument. 4000 years it was because they did a deck beneath the monument, erected a monument to just sit on the deck, angle calculation to very exact, really makes me admire, 4000 years ago in Egypt who are so clever, I agree with YOU!!!p>

Imperial Valley — the magnificent tomb group

It is situated in the Valley of the Kings from Thebes site not far away a piece of uninhabited Limestone Gorge.

In the cliff, is the ancient Egypt's new Kingdom period burial place of Pharaoh. For centuries, the Pharaoh in the West Bank of the Nile River cliffs dug Tomb, which may be used to place the remains of their cats. This used to be a magnificent tomb group, a total of more than 60 King tombs, burial at Egypt 17 dynasty to the 20th dynasty Pharaoh during a 64-bit.

Red Sea-holiday paradise

14 night we stayed at the Red Sea's Harmony Makadi hotel, a five-star resort hotel is a 3-storey villa has 3 swimming pools, as well as its own sandy beach.

Red Sea water crystal-clear, can see the underwater shell texture. Fly in the ointment — I didn't bring swimsuit (cry AH ~ ~ ~).

Sahara desert — the most crazy crossing

In the Red Sea, we rented a 4-drive SUV into the desert sand, drivers with Arab songs, steered jeep ride in the desert, climb over, a string of dunes, in a large piece of flat we see a mirage, Sun irradiation to the Red Sea, the reflection will be reflected in the architecture in the desert, the King has only in books, rare few back to life.

Driving in the desert one hour later, we arrived at the primitive tribes in the desert, where almost and the outside world. They have no electricity, no gas cooking by candle night firing camel dung, except purchasing food from the outside, the rest of the non-communication. Here's tribal marriage because of the close relatives cause many children or deaf or dumb, speak also only speak Arabic, here we are riding their feeding of camel, walk through the desert. It all seemed to let me in the cinema scene.

Hariri market-shopping paradise, it is my most successful local

16 October we drove back to Egypt, free activities, soldiers in two road 1 team dance 2 team Hariri market, I was going to Hariri market.

Cairo night than during the day more flavor, the day you can see only ordinary walls, because the old sand lot so Hin, night lighting of various shops, it seems that the electric atmosphere at no cost, large glass wall after various fine decoration for the shop is full of temptations. Hariri market even more brightly, lit up the night of 2 centuries, market outlets of a row of cafés to do with the rest of the guests, the owner doesn't allow voice after another, we have no hesitation of rushed in, joined the ranks of procurement. Paper sedge is Egypt's unique, only here to produce paper Sedge, this paper is not rotten, ancient Egypt people use it do paintings and Tomb until now (the Museum has a collection). The owner doesn't allow me to, identify quality from my husband, who is studying painting, central part 1 is not a white-to-read, so many years of Fine Arts Foundation is not a joke. After several rounds of identification and inquiry, we draw on the paper's reasonable price spectrum, finally came to a house painting lines, here's a look at the painting is from the people of the pen. Husband in fine selection, I do not fluent in English and a price cut, boss English suddenly increase level ~ ~ ~, after more than half an hour of efforts, because the collection time is up, we just pick out a few pictures, leaving me and my boss said that tomorrow evening, I come here, Bye-bye. And the group to share my harvested, they appreciate my husband's eyes and admire my cut price, requires us to buy, I have not made the next night the Pro to the airport before we really came again, is a person, we buy more than 150 pictures, of course, price is more favorable. I too have a sense of achievement, but also was almost gone I bring dollars!!!

Memphis-the ancient capital of Egypt

The last day we came to the capital of Egypt's oldest — Memphis, has lost its original downtown, to small villages.

Memphis Museum is the world's smallest one, because there is only a lying la Mustafa II (Ramesses

II), the statue was about 14 meters high, carved limestone blocks by setting, very beautiful.

Although after 3200 years, but the statue on the pictographs are also clearly visible. In an earthquake, the statue of the legs and left broken and therefore let statue transverse lie in the Museum Hall on the ground. Stepped pyramid is located in the small village of Memphis, the third dynasty of ancient Egypt's King left plug is buried here, it is then the embryonic form of the pyramid.

Time goes by so fast, a blink of an eye on the past, and it's time to say goodbye to Egypt.

17 nights we set foot on the return of the mummy of aircraft, goodbye, goodbye mysterious Egypt, goodbye enthusiasm and clever Egypt people!!!
