The chapter on the road: 03 — Museum of Cairo, the pyramids, Mosque, die City (bottom)

Giza

Out from Egypt Museum is Egypt time noon (Beijing time off! ~ ~), we start off to the JISA.

Lunch not surprisingly to JISA edge "in the" Tang "restaurant that not surprisingly is because many travels are recorded in the Chinese restaurant. Chinese cuisine is also in place, I think if it is not the dressier words should be satisfied. We visit a total of three times to eat Chinese food, the most sumptuous, potatoes and beef stew, taste and home doing the same.

After feasting on departure Giza (because the time difference between the way how do you think the ZZ is the Liu Wan after dinner.

), In Cairo, Southwest suburban JISA, loess sky, artificial uncompleted constantly. Good start in the experience of rare and strange, has already got used. Traffic jam when saw an old man sitting on the roadside in Egypt under a big tree of smoking a Hookah, and when I fixated he met the old grinned at us, smiled and waved waving. Original heart with some peeping poor fluster, this happy eyes, XX is completely transparent to the boredom by poverty, on the contrary it is a kind of happiness and satisfaction.

If you understood as far away from the city centre, Giza erected in a vast desert, purely by television cameras have misled.

The great pyramid at the roadside, a car to cars to be hilarious to see neighbourhoods around, luxury hotels, the book says this hotel in the morning a window to see the pyramids more hazy.

Khufu total $ 230 million pieces of limestone rocks, each stone weighing 2.5 tons.

Often hear people say to Cairo to see the pyramids is 1 hour of regret, not looking at is a lifetime of regret. XX and time just to the ZZ also think pyramid SOSO. But really come close to the eyes, and they knew that the great Khufu. Huge chunks of stuffing, each has a tall man, it's hard to imagine how the heap in ancient times, it was wonderful.

Travel book says Egypt tour "ten commandments" first don't mess with the edge of hawker and pyramids camel, I hear all their Cairo police.

We would like to ask, see compliance books to anyone and we do not miss the rise of greeting. A station in the tower under the police told us waving, XX did ran and ran out of 50 m, the police station at the edge of a face enigmatic stone.

From Khufu climb down, standing in the high and low side overlooking OASIS, a head wearing Arab scarf of tell me with a smile came over and we greet "hello, where are you from?"

The classic trilogy of Egypt's greetings, first sentence. Because it is the to Egypt's first day, although a little wary, but ZZ or and other pleasantries, Arab brother took a photo with the scarf ZZ in ZZ head, I gave them both to pinch a little Gothic will swing POSE, is very complex. An essential balm（20G） ZZ to each other, he was pleased, and give me Wai on headscarf, motioned to me to bring the camera to him, he gave us. Start a bit hesitant, but still the camera gave him (with no tricks), brother to get picked angles a dough. Afterwards brother gives us a small green scarab stone carving, ZZ handed him $ 1, he said that change can be to us, ZZ and gave him $ 10, brother took out a stack of one dollar, one a number for a count of 5 tickets to us. Think of his enthusiasm, I cheated to nothing.

Bypass hufu son Hough, pyramid, we stopped to pinch a few photos, this is what Egypt of around 4 p.m., at Kufra pyramid, the sun shines on the side of the pyramid, the pyramid found out that really turns Golden.

El Abra pyramid top remnants of a smooth top, the original pyramid in the large stone later also outside inlaid white limestone slabs. However these limestone plate now only and Hough la pyramid roof also survive some, I hear that is been weathered, others have been Rameses II down cover Temple, there's been Saladin down cover Saladin. Ancient Egypt was the older stuff removed cover yourself, it is an old tradition.

Our touring around the pyramids and Comin' out about three kilometers later stopped, we glanced, here is the peace we see in the picture album three pyramids together photos, a full three kilometres away.

Fluffed photos, our car on the JISA high and low, down along the way saw in the desert is far from a team of camel, perhaps those are the Cairo police headache of camel bar, but their heights with a parade in the desert, and desert complement each other, I quickly through the window glass pinch a — this may be not afraid of harassment.

The car was bypassing pyramids heights, came to the edge of the Sphinx.

To the Sphinx in ancient Egypt "charge on the horizon, and Ruth" Greece myth of Sphinx. According to seniority, it was the Sphinx 80 generation ancestor. (Difference in 2000, 25, a generation so count). Sphynx this image is from ancient Egypt to Greece and Greece were put it into the fairy tale, has created the Sphinx this famous name, and then back to ancient Egypt.

XX thought Sphinx at Giza edge, didn't think it was very far, but as the great pyramids, the Sphinx shooting when you can just get the background of the pyramid.

However the Sphinx is 20 meters high, equivalent to a seven-storey building, back to the domestic colleague asked after XX Sphinx is large, XX thought that "and almost" Tsinghua, all this feel.

Twilight of Saladin, city of death, and Khan Hariri market

Leave the Giza, the sky was getting dark.

Nana guide said night train to Aswan, IAre there from the train for nearly three hours, you can go to Khan Hariri market. In accordance with the Beijing time, in fact have 11 lighted at night is, despite some fatigue, think of our slippers issues also outrages, or get together to go to the next station.

Large buses and again through the Nile River to the East, Twilight, a giant silent black bears, Nana guide said that Saladin and Mohamed Ali in Castle mosque.

Twilight of the mosque in Sunset afterglow is particularly strong in silence.

The car on the road driving, our team can be a bit frustrating time tired, inside a silence.

The car is a stretch of city, suddenly found here have XX House of uncompleted degrees more amazing, there are only four walls, was a slice of ruins. "It was the city of Cairo's death!" Nana Guide explained.

"Why is the city of the dead?"

"The city of the dead is dead live.

”

"It's not just the cemetery?"

"Of course, should be regarded as a cemetery.

This is the ancient Egypt people dedicated to the dead of the construction of a city. In order to be able to let the dead relatives here like living the same life time. This dead city there are street, number, and each room is fully equipped. ”

"Now or will be dead and buried to it?" for Egypt's ideas, we joined the impervious anyway.

Maybe they were out of the respect of the death of loved ones, but also on their own after an arrangement.

"Now you can live here is dead, there are also those who have no money living! House of poor people also live here.

Of course the dead or live here, a year to hundreds of Egyptian pounds of management fees. "Nana's answer me back an intermittent cold, but Nana's expression is taken for granted. XX breathed mouth mouth, not afraid to ask. Maybe this is the country deal with death.

Khan Hariri market edge is the Hussein mosque.

Our car to get there, what cars are heard mosque Xuan Li Tower Loudspeaker playback rolling recitation of the Koran, a reading of the imams were fast, stimulated a strong tone, distant mosque as the song is followed by a reading of the piece after another. The sound became later we journey to Egypt's natural clock.

Spent an hour in Khan Hariri market walked bought two pairs of slippers and two t-shirt, a shawl.

T shirt 10 El lb 1 pieces, orange red shawl 20 El lbs a piece. And Egypt brother owner doesn't allow also fun, a pair of slippers offer 160, cut to 50 ZZ, t-shirt offer 30, cut into 10 blocks, also asked me to be "a click click" press of ball-point pen.

To sell shawl Arab brother handed money suddenly see that juncture, a group of people excited and ran to the street cheering, brother also follow cheers, the wise know today specially every Egypt football in Cameroon.

Egypt team is African champions Egypt's national hero is.

Our car on the way in to the station, the game has been played out, it is clear that day Egypt won the game, the car on the road, the ubiquitous banner celebration of masses.

In this highly religious country, the distance between strangers are much closer. Our soccer nature is not likely to make everyone happy, but even if a bit is the most excellent game, it is difficult to imagine such a happy atmosphere at any time visible. The more I feel the people of this nation is so different that their lives may be, unemployment may be high, their history, maybe a lot of countries on their conquered and slavery, but in this land of life people have learned to laugh in, hard in humor.
