Nile sunset--Egypt travel

The dream of Egypt is a step towards a present

As a result of their own for historical and cultural interest, monuments, reading the book of history has always been my biggest interest.

Twenty years ago, I was in high school when I was walking through the Ming tombs in each of the mausoleum. Work, the ruins of ancient civilizations throughout the country has also been the focus of my travel, from the ruins, dongling DUI to Qing dynasty, the domestic parts of the monuments are basically left my footprints. And these monuments-related knowledge, allusions, are already down to the chest. But outside the ancient civilization for me, there are not many know about. Although high school world history course studied, but apart from the pyramids, the members of the four ancient civilizations, ancient Egypt has not left me impressed too much. "Ancient civilizations" those four words in my mind has been equivalent to our five-thousand-year history of civilization, the great wall, the terracotta warriors and horses. Until four years ago, I occasionally read online at ctrip a friends in Egypt tourist travels, including a Word to me impressed: "to Egypt, we know what is ourselves. "Since then, Egypt in my mind is a dream, a sweet to pay any efforts to realize the dream.

Several years passed, as the economy continues to improve, this dream is getting closer to us.

A weekend in early September morning, DARLING is reading the newspaper is not a sentence: Let's 11 to go abroad.

I watch TV, while random answer: no problem. Later, DARLING gave me a few pages got a lot of tourist advertisement newspaper, the start and I discuss where to go. Looking at some of the introduction, we arrive at an answer: Egypt.

After that, we repeatedly compares various travel itineraries and schedules, and ultimately chose China cyts tours September 27 departure for a 10-day mission.

We are a family of three (I, DARLING and five-year-old daughter LULU) is about to embark on Egypt this most ancient of human history, we have this dream will become reality.

A love of good students do homework

Decisions after each night work is online at Egypt's introduction and user travels, reading books about Egypt.

The ancients said, read thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles. Go to Egypt to miles, before thousands of books are not read, but to be able to read more, sure to improve tourism quality is very good. I spent a month read four books on the introduction of Egypt, of which there are two of my help is very large, one is Italy's Alberto Siliotti wrote the · ancient Egypt-Temple · people · God, this book is the ancient civilizations of light books first, through the wonderful pictures and refined language, simple, crisp, vivid show panorama of ancient Egypt civilization. A4 paper size for this book, with a lot of pictures, on each of monuments from the structure, contents to construct murals and found that the process has the details. Of course, because the content is too many, the book is too big too heavy, not easy to carry, the price is more expensive. Also a drawback is the translation of rough, translation errors, translated into Chinese characters names, place names and often inconsistent. Another book is noting the strong focus of the next station-Egypt ", this book from the tourism point of view are described in detail the various tourist attractions in Egypt, history, customs, folklore, and for how to make travel plans, how to prepare for the journey, how immigration, accommodation, catering, and various other details are described in detail. Although there are some obvious errors, but do not cover the defects, the role of it-is visible, it can be said that this is a tour Egypt will bring books. Throughout the trip, I go to bed every night before last thing is to read this book, summarizing the day's itinerary, preview the schedule for tomorrow. Of course, this book also became members of the tour were circulated and back to Beijing after the planned purchase of objects.

Although the cram, to read books about Egypt, really makes me from Egypt know little, later to Egypt main attractions, figures and history have a preliminary understanding.

Particularly in our local guides Miss Chinese rose is not clear, I am also able to help her introduction, is called the Deputy members of the tour guide.

Of course, apart from reading, there are some things that are described in the book and based on the user experience to do before you travel.

In this regard, many users of travels in the detailed description, it will not repeat them. Here I just want to experience a little about myself after different feelings:

1, in the clothing, the temperature difference of Egypt did not think so much, as the "frozen" Egypt three train also not so cold.

Although I follow the introduction of many netizens have long used clothes, trousers, but in Egypt but basic no use. So as long as you don't go in the winter, not in the middle of the night to go to the Sinai mountains and desert depths to see the Sunrise, t-shirts, shorts and a pair of casual Sandals sufficient to cope with. Of course if you are afraid of the Sun, long coat, trousers or useful, but there is no need to consider using it to keep warm.

2. essential balm（20G） is not very easy to use, a lot of Egypt's Waiter or want you to pay cash as a tip.

I took 25 box essential balm（20G）, most not as a tip, but don't want to go back to Egypt, and as the child's gifts.

3. If you are told you don't have to worry about tuanyou Egypt accommodation of health conditions.

Although Egypt nominal of five-star hotel, cruise ship up to international standards, and sometimes travel to you may be a five-star hotel in the room, but the health condition or can I take to bed sheets, bath towels received.

4, from one Web site in English and can be found on http://simplifiedchinese.wunderground.com including Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Helga, Sharm el-Sheikh and Alexandria, as even Abu Yassin Baylor, Egypt tourist locations in the five day forecast and history for each day of the average, maximum and minimum temperature record

Were recorded, this is are you going to travel much help.

5. Egypt tourist spots are selling digital cameras used in the CF and SD cards, batteries, the price is cheaper than Beijing, 512M CF card to 200 EGP, about 270 Yuan.

6. do not be too worried about violations of Egypt's national customs, Egypt's Muslim foreigners or respect and understanding.

7, in Egypt without too much worry about language problems, simple English will be able to help you deal with most situations.

But if you phone to download kingsoft, then shopping in the shop, in particular its own restaurant, will facilitate a lot.

In addition, in the development of tourism plan and choose to participate in the tour group when:

1, time, and economic factors: the tour Egypt generally take a long time, depending on your available time and economic power to choose.

If your own time, or to participate in the travel agency 9 to 12-day mission. If time is abundant, and there are economic strength to support, you can take tours.

2, route: Beijing and Egypt Cairo has no direct flight between the lines, and the only aerial flights is Egypt with stops at Bangkok, other airlines flights will need to stop the transfer.

Qatar aviation services which is in Doha, U.A.E. air flights are in Dubai. Some people in order to meet in the U.A.E. airport shopping (U.A.E. has the world's largest airport duty free shop) and stopped by to visit the world's only seven-star hotel, deliberately chosen a nine hour transit time of Albanian Airlines flights. Of course I want to leave fewer delays, so only through Bangkok 1 hour of Erwin Airlines flight was my best choice. Select the MSC, the factors to be taken into account.

2, attractions and travel arrangements: If you select a tour, you need to carefully compare the various tours itinerary, one is to see whether you go to the spots you appetite, the second is to look at traffic arrangement is reasonable.

I once saw a mission trip plan, one day is to get up at four o'clock in the morning, three from Aswan off to Abu Xin Temple, along the way about Baylor three and a half hours after the visit to spend three and a half hours to return to Aswan, and then in the afternoon sitting five hours in the car to get to the hull Gorda. Although to Abu Yassin Baylor Temple must spend you seven hour time, but if one day to spend five hours of car to another, this will make you feel very tired. If you read the next station-Egypt "will let you choose from SFO is of great help.

September 27, Beijing

According to the China Youth travel service, we are travelling in Beijing time at 20: 05 Egypt airlines MS961 flights.

As the holiday season to Egypt's staff more serious aerial overbooking, and therefore China cyts tours specifically reminded us to prematurely for three hours at the airport check-in. 17: 00 we are all of the group get the capital airport. Air-ticket office queues is not too much, but our next one counter has a lot of people seem to like migrant workers with a box of vinegar and soy sauce and a large package of luggage. Compared with them, our luggage is simply a piece of cake, back pack, baggage check-in. And very smooth departure, customs, inspection, in accordance with the law, we have to go abroad. Intermediate terminal for a long time, we visited the shopping duty free shop, had a price acceptable for dinner, and an introduction by each other, a preliminary understanding of our mission of other travellers. Our mission 13 members of the tour, including the team leaders, 14 MM, YR, three couples, we three, there are two MOM with two daughters. Big brother and sister-in-law is the fifties, the smallest is my LULU, only five times. Fortunately, with the Mission of two girls, an eight-year-old, an 11-year-old. Haha, LULU has associated with it.

Late 20 05 our Boeing 777 aircraft on-time departure from Beijing Capital Airport, flying in the clouds, whistling.

Åœ — äº¬æ — ¶é — ' 28, 0: 30 a.m., landing the aircraft smoothly in Bangkok airport, half of the passengers got off the plane.

From Beijing to Bangkok in this way, the plane passengers, even many people occupy the Middle four seats to lie down and sleep. See the plane there are so many empty seats, some of us the Group began to complain about the travel agency why let us three hours ahead of time to the airport check-in. When we talk about day one side, looked at the Bangkok airport flight personnel to clean the machine health while toying occupy which vacant seats in order to make himself behind most of the voyage could be more comfortable, Bangkok passengers start boarding. Just ten minutes, the original empty cabin, is those black, white, yellow, Brown of various kinds are full of people. In the last ten minutes, hear are male and female flight attendant are in English, Chinese, Arabic, Thai, in a word: repeated, sat to your own seat; see the Chung cabin that coax mess and crowded crowds and were asleep is getting up from the seat of my fellow citizens. The plane is so crowded, so I often fly sky run everyone was dumb. Our mission: big brother, just because it was in the cabin into a circle, came back to find their seats are a head scarf wrapped white middle-aged Arab women to occupy. Big brother and the stewardess repeatedly asked her to sit in the back of his seat, but she only emphasizes the point that her companion sat, but ability is not good, in need of care. Let your words, she is hip as Tarzan, standing still. We looked at, just next to the simmering flight attendant can make big brother free lift cabin, sit on the front of the business class, big brother sigh, reluctantly went to the rear, ride to the Arab women's seats. Alas, the kind of big brother.

Around 1: 30 am, our Boeing 777 aircraft flying in the clouds, again to Egypt in Cairo.

Ancient Egypt, we come to!

September 28, arrived in Egypt, the pyramids of Egypt, the archaeological museum, journeys to the Orient Express of Aswan.

After taking off from Bangkok, about

Eight hours later, we landed at Egypt Cairo International Airport. The entire voyage, flight attendant provided three meals, not much content similar to my taste. But happily LULU in the aircraft's performance was good, until in Bangkok and I together to disport after sleep until the aircraft landed at Cairo airport.

Out of the door, I looked at his watch, åœ — äº¬æ — ¶é — ' 28, 11: 55 am.

According to the book's introduction, 4-9 month Egypt implement daylight, later than Beijing time five hours, from 1 October, later than Beijing time six hours. So I guess the local time is 6: 55 am. But after I verified to our tour guide, just know this year's Ramadan begins from September 24, from September 24 to enter the normal time, so now is 5: 55.

The plane, the Sun is up to the surface, we enjoy in Cairo airport to Egypt's first Sunrise.

Egypt international airport not too big, we are successfully processed through immigration and customs and baggage formalities and the Bank at the airport will dollar swap EGP. In Exchange, let me say that the man has only confirmed to me five piece a EGP zero banknotes, no way. Waiting for luggage, I went to the toilet, convenient, see who is responsible for the toilet clean of Egypt brother constantly using thumb and index finger, middle finger rubbed to the convenience of people asking for a tip. I think in my pocket and took out an essential balm（20G）, into his hands. He gave me, mouth repeatedly said: not this, money, money. It seems that essential balm（20G） in Egypt have been scarce resources into smelly home continent goods, particularly those in the airport frequently dealing with our fellow Chinese buddies, family fear could open essential balm（20G） shop. Of course I am impatiently rejected him, and I will be essential balm（20G） plug back his hand and told him: no money, this only. See he threw up faces, I felt very happy, this is my first time in Egypt on the toilet, first pay tip. Of course, since this is the tip, so I'm willing to pay to pay, I am willing to pay for essential balm（20G） is essential balm（20G）, you have no right to choose.

China cyts tours local cooperation company's representative early into the airport to meet us, his Chinese self introduction called Hoss.

Big brother say what it sounded like Hu staff, I said probably see the Sha Jia bang "see conspiracy, Commander of the Hu and Diao, Chief of mixed together, creating a Hu staff.

Walk out the door to the airport, the first feeling is Sun Egypt clear sky, the blue color in my memory seems to have far far away.

From the airport to the opposite, in the face of two sharp buildings, one of the markers of ancient Egypt----the obelisk, the other is a modern Egypt and modern Egypt's marker-mosque of Xuan Li Tower. A Toyota COASTER bus stop beside us in Egypt these days of courses, are essentially the vehicle transfer to us. We at the NOVOTEL airport hotel next to the breakfast buffet is Western style. The 4-star NOVOTEL hotel is very nice, looked out from the restaurant, swimming pool, pool with white and blue of the water map at blue sky, green lawns, coconut tree, the tree Red Palm, hotel Red's decorative banner, and the Brown of the cabin, and the colorful flowers in full bloom, formed a colourful screen. LULU and 8-year-old girl in La in the hotel's Garden of play, have fun, happy joy joy.

According to the Muslim calendar, September 24, entered the holy month of Ramadan, the end of daylight savings time in advance.

But in the holy month of Ramadan, the many attractions and a late-owned shops were opened, but also very early closed. We are approximately 7: 30 breakfast was over, but because Egypt Archaeology Museum is open 9: 30, we can only in the hotel restaurant, also good restaurant tea supply.

8: 30, we leave for Egypt Archaeology Museum.

In the car, we saw our Egypt tour, she had a very good Chinese name, called the rose. Cairo airport road, very pretty, very spacious, the side of the road is a gorgeous flowers and tall coconut tree, the roadside or white or yellow mosque, decorated in green plants. Out of the airport road, Cairo color start down that road, housing and roadside plants look disorganized. Road vehicles seemed confused, mostly old and many car shell rugged. We as a crowded train, 8: 50 came to Egypt Archaeology Museum.

Egypt Museum is located next to the liberation square, a red layer small buildings, ancient Egypt Museum are all Pharaoh period artifacts.

During Ramadan as a is, Museum from 9: 30 before they open the door to many tourists waiting outside the door. The Museum building has a small pool, inside of the upper and lower Egypt of representative plants-paper sedge and Lotus, Koike corners are superior to Sphinx and two honorable RAM Francis II of stone statue. Floor front courtyard displaying various stone artifacts, there is a huge sarcophagus, Obelisk, etc., are very representative.

9: 30 doors open on time, Museum, the floor outside the waiting people such as tidal flooding into the Museum.

Suddenly, our tour members were the crowd rushed four five-San, I can only hold my LULU. Ten minutes later, the members of the Group finally Miss Rose collection flag, began under the leadership of Miss rose. Enter the Museum doors after first seeing the Rosetta Stone, stone surface with ancient Egypt hieroglyphs, ancient Egypt and Greece the alphanumeric text carved a paragraph, these three words to each other. 19th century France language genius champolion is by virtue of this tablet, successfully solved the ancient Egypt hieroglyphs, makes modern people can learn these ancient Egypt hieroglyphs 4000 years ago, figures and events. So said Rosetta Stone in Egypt Archaeology history in occupies an important position, it can be said is a key milestone. Unfortunately this Rosetta Stone is the archaeological museum in Egypt only fake, authenticity is taken away by the United Kingdom the Japanese are now placed in the British Museum. But even if theIs a fake, because of its significance, are still being imported at the gate on the left hand side of the location.

Museum of a layer is placed in chronological order by period of relics, we walked along the clockwise, starting from the portrait of King Djoser, enjoy the early dynastic Egypt, old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, new Kingdom, Greece and Rome period of relics.

The second floor is sakaltutan scammon treasures Museum and the Mummy Museum. Because the time Miss relative tension, roses only optional focusing gave us, we did not go to see Mummy room. Since I had read a lot of material, so for those who do not have to look at the key cultural relic, the English notes, but also do not have to Miss Chinese rose explained to know more about it, even I also can help Miss rose.

Some people say that Egypt itself is a large open-air museum, full of relics.

Does Egypt's heritage is just too much, much to the heads of State took out four temple overall to other countries, many-to-can all large, heavy heritage casual on the floor in the building, and allows visitors to easily reach, not imagined carries heavy History Museum should have a look. Of course, for the sake of security, sakaltutan scammon tomb unearthed some gold jewelry class heritage or placed in a glass Cabinet. Sakaltutan scammon discovery of the tomb is a legend, sakaltutan scammon treasures Museum is the Museum's most attract eyeballs. In the famous sakaltutan scammon's Golden mask and jinguan, Wai several layers, LULU riding in my shoulder was read out, and I only from human joints and enjoy the splendid Town Hall ". In order to avoid the crowded crowds, I didn't spend too much time to look at the pictures and Tan card Monte gold masks and jinguan, but seriously browse a relatively few of sakaltutan scammon's male lion throne and combat vehicles. Sakaltutan scammon's male lion throne suggests and laced with precious stones, Chair of the carvings are Queen King oiling of the scene, both sides of the Emboss showed the King and Queen of tender life scenes, carving techniques and smooth, crisp, this has also become a papyrus art often reproduce the scene. Seat on the whole, seems brilliant, after three thousand years still gorgeous. It is important to note that the grave was found, in addition to the outer sarcophagus, sakaltutan scammon mummies in three layers of human form coffin, outermost two layer is the wooden package, the most in a layer of gold gemstone. Now the middle layer of wooden coffin and suggests human form sakaltutan scammon mummies in Luxor King Valley sakaltutan scammon's Tomb in the exhibit, on display in the archaeological museum is gold coffin and outer wooden coffin suggests human form, nor sakaltutan scammon's Mummy.

Egypt archaeological museum with three more to describe the heritage, many-to-we can see only a small part, most of them were placed in a warehouse, in order to meet the needs of tourists, the Government of Egypt have decided to build a larger new Museum, let's look forward to the new Museum opened that day; the second is the tourists and, in some artifacts, even if you don't want to go, want to take a look, you have to get the crowd going with you; third, the police, the door was armed police charge projectile, each car parking next to the tour with the edge of the police.

Museum security check very carefully, to enter the courtyard gates and door to the building by two security inspection. Now is not allowed in the Museum of photography, access to the courtyard, all members of our group to apply all of the cameras, camcorders have unified storage at the door on the left hand side of a small house. Because too many people, when we reached to depositing a fight over pass his camera, and then the custody officer from the custody officer hands to a small wooden signs. See so chaotic scene, I was really worried about your own camera will not be lost.

From the Museum, is a bit much, and in the afternoon we ride along the road to JISA pyramid.

In pyramids Boulevard has two more famous restaurants, a company called the Palace, another company called Tang, in times of the Arab Street text and English letters, these characters look very obvious, but also lets them far from home in a foreign land who have felt the exception. We have dinner at the Palace at noon, the restaurant in a second layer of the platform, the restaurant front gathering a lot of selling stamps, coins Egypt hawkers were. Restaurant sanitation is also good, cooking level is not afraid to flattered, especially his dumpling stuffed shredded sea foods, skin is thick enough to make you chew with difficulty. Restaurant waiter are basically Egypt learn Chinese University students, the attitude is very good. A girl who claimed to be just learning a language, but she said that the Chinese are very good, strong than Miss rose. She is very fond of LULU LULU, also teaches singing mouse loves rice ".

After lunch, we follow the plan to Giza.

From the restaurant, car gone or not ten minutes, three huge buildings suddenly appears in front of us, no, everyone knows what it is. 13: 10, we came to the front of the pyramid. Although before the pyramids have been more understanding, the pictures also saw a lot, but when they suddenly appears in front of you, that kind of shocking sensation or oil however litres. JISA heights Giza, the pyramid of development pole is to, hufu, Hough la, koala built three generations, is one of the seven wonders of the ancient civilization only retained in present and future generations. These three great pyramid construction time almost 5000 years ago and at that time, the same is the ancient civilizations of we, myths and legends of the periods of time, there is no text and no cultural or archeological discoveries to support then civilization. So no wonder foreigners of archaeologists and does not endorse our history of five thousand years of civilization, they are only recognized around 1700 BC establishment of Shang dynasty is the first Chinese ancient dynasties.

At this moment comes at noon, blue sky without a cloud, burning sun without shade, shines in this piece of Yellow clay.

Walk down our van, oncoming is a unit of heat waves, a unit with obvious characteristics of heat waves in Egypt. If the feeling is Guangzhou summer into the sauna, then this feeling is into the oven. Drying, burning sensation, so I usually reluctant to use Sun protection and skin care products, also had to get out of sun cream, all exposed parts thickly coated with a layer. Enduring the sunshineEyes and skin, including myself, some members of the tour were beginning to complain about travel arrangements of unreasonable, so why not follow the original planned morning tour of the pyramid, the archaeological museum in the afternoon to go. Guide to our explanation of the reasons is because the Ramadan period archaeological museum close at 15: 00 15: 30 closing up the pyramid, in order to give us more time on tour, so arrange afternoon pyramid.

Before I've been toying a pyramid how to taste after the spectacular scenery of the world wonders, I wanted to take the three pyramids around around, climbed the Khufu's following several layers of stones (Egypt shall not climbing the pyramid, but the entry below several layers of stones or can be up and down), and finally enter the pyramid of internal koalas Manuel coffin Chamber (currently internal open with hufu and Mann Koala pyramid, the pyramid of internal structure and channel settings are very much the same.

Khufu's channel is long, narrow, need more time, fees or expensive like 100 EGP, El Koala pyramid lower, time and cost less, and approximately 15 EGP). But the tour guide gave us the freedom tour time is only 30 minutes, alas, not change it. A car, everyone is busy looking for a good angle photography, carefully looked magnificent pyramids, and the pyramid of police firearm possession charge projectile, sale of souvenirs of hawker, take a camel to attract tourists taking photos of the farmer and paved in stone blanket devout worship of Muslim believers. I took the camera along side length 230 m Khufu go in a circle, from different angles will be three pyramids view into my camera. Our mission of the group who have a strong sense of time, during the whole trip was to comply with the time requirements for tour guides, during which 30 minutes, no one in order to satisfy the curiosity of individuals entering the pyramid held within everyone's time, some people just get to the entrance, a look at the dark corridor, feel the atmosphere of solemnity, and with a lot of regrets come back to the car.

Five minutes later, our van onto a Highlands, far from here, three great pyramids, and their subsidiary of six small pyramid food Chamber, here is a panoramic shot of the pyramids.

High floor there are a lot of tourists, which the Chinese tourists takes up a large proportion, everywhere you can hear the familiar discourse. Throughout the trip, it can be said that the various attractions are able to meet our compatriots, and amount is beyond my imagination. Just take photos through a panoramic view of the pyramids, there was a sentence bad Chinese: Hello. Looked back and is two blocks in the adjacent crenata, smiling face, hands and AK47 automatic rifle of the police. They hand accompaniment became popular, to photography with us. LULU is happy to run to the police, I held the camera took two tickets. Previously I have seen the introduction of Egypt, know this is going to pay tip. So after I finished shooting the initiative took out two pound notes payable to the two police officers. Do not expect, they shook his hand and said, No, ten pounds. Bargain, the final result is five pounds together. This is my first time to truly feel to Egypt people smile behind the money.

Down from the heights, we came to the famous Sphinx.

DARLING really can't stand the sunlight baoshai, and LULU to stay in the car did not want to get off. Long before the human face of mythological in Hough la pyramid has been quietly seated meal more than 4000 years, it has been filled with buried for centuries until the figure-Morse IV in the dream I heard it's call, clear yellow sand, makes its way through. Of course, it has fulfilled its promise to make figure-Morse IV ascended the throne of the Pharaoh.

Next to the Khufu has two huge pits, 1954, open one covered with slate of big pit, there is a block of Chinese edition 1224, people will do this together into a send Pharaoh paradise of Sun, now in big pit of top built the famous Sun boat Museum.

Another big pit is opened in 1985, is still part of the solar boat, this time people do not have fixed it, Pharaoh's solar boat also lie in five thousand years ago. Because Sun being repaired of ship Museum, not tourists, we were a little regret, and coming to tour.

Read the Sphinx, Giza tour is over, the time now is 14: 40.

Then the tour took us to a straight paper sedge. Paper sedge is a symbol of upper Egypt, Papyrus is the world's oldest writing paper, it is the invention of Chinese Eastern Han dynasty Cai Lun tissue paper to early 2000, this is the ancient Egypt people's contribution to world civilization. Paper sedge painting lines clear, colorful, painted basically divided into three categories, is the temple, mausoleum of murals and relief, the second is the Pharaoh or Queen statue, portrait, three are some famous relics, such as sakaltutan scammon's Gold masks, etc. Our shop in first understand the paper making process of Sedge, and then look at the display of some paper sedge. This shop sells paper sedge art prices more expensive, but the quality may not necessarily be guaranteed. One of our group took 950 pounds bought a painting for the anosyennes Bissell boot dead Pharaoh's trial, with the balance weighing Pharaoh's heart of the famous fresco. But before leaving Egypt, appeared after wash. Good comparison in the shop on credibility, left without any Word will give back. Of course, the premise is to buy when you want to open a receipt or invoice.

Straight from the paper Sedge, we went to a sale of long-staple cotton shirt shop.

Long-staple cotton is Egypt's specialities, made with long-staple cotton shirt of the texture, feel that it was very good. I have admired and DARLING (1) of the t-shirt is printed on the front door map Hua tepu I, figure-Morse III, Hamon Huo StEPP III (also known as the ' Monroe Fei, III), Rameses II, El Sheikh get swallowed, sakaltutan scammon, ancient Egypt's famous Pharaohs hieroglyphs seal pattern. Ask price, EGP 85, a hesitation, not to buy it. But after that, I'm in Aswan, esna and Cairo Hariri market haven't found this pattern ofT-shirt.

Left the shop, less than four.

Follow the itinerary, we next to Cairo to supper, and then take the 8 p.m. more Orient Express to Egypt's southern city of Aswan. Now it's still early, guide us to a hotel lobby. Our vehicles to come to the hotel, I found the opposite of the hotel is CAIRO MALL, I'll tell you that revealed, many members of the tour are very excited that this had something to do in two hours. A car, we quickly from intensive traffic across the street to the MALL's door, saw the door closed, door hanging a sign that reads "CLOSED". I just wonder why Egypt's shopping centre close so early? side of a deputation sigh and said: "man is the holy month of Ramadan. "Alas, depressed!

No way, only in the hotel lobby to kill the boredom of two hours, I constantly worry about the tour after a few days will not be under the influence of the holy month of Ramadan.

I put my worry told leader YR MM, YR MM is a sense of strong girl who attach great importance to the immediate and China Youth Brigade headquarters and local responsible for reception of the cooperation links, and travel agencies and tourist guides carefully consult the itinerary followed. From then, Ramadan, on our journey does not produce any adverse effects.

17: 40 in the evening, we went back to the pyramids road, opposite the Palace of a home is called the "Tang" restaurant to eat dinner.

The next station-Egypt "authors" Tang is the best Chinese restaurant in Egypt, I have finished after that.

Supper, van transfer us to the JISA railway station, we dragged the luggage to the platform waiting for the train to Aswan.

Egypt's railway station and the hotel's design is missing a humane, no elevator, no drag and a bag of slopes, we have to carry heavy luggage up and down stairs. On the platform, we also have the mission to join, their Egypt tourist guide is a 20-year-old boy, Chinese name is called "big iron", his Chinese said very well. Major rail really like LULU, on the platform went crazy with LULU, just have fun, big iron suddenly put aside, LULU with LULU said a few words, and ran away. I saw him to wash, wash your face next to the corner shop in the platform a paper on his knees, the nights are Muslims to church, while big iron is a devout Muslim.

15 8: get in on the Orient Express.

Orient Express is Cairo-Aswan tourism train between, intermediate only JISA, Luxor, and several other tourist attractions in the city or Park. It is said that prices are more expensive, only allows foreign tourists take this bus, we mostly Chinese. On the Orient Express is a separate package, each room has two beds, and has its own separate lavatory sink. Usually the Slatted bed base hidden in the walls, rooms in seeing just a like a sofa like long seat, when needed, WAITER key wring, wall bed bases on magic appears in front of you. Phase of the both rooms have doors that only loosen wrench on both sides to open. The team is taking care of our YR MM, to the adjacent two private rooms. We put the Middle doors open, two private rooms is a DARLING and outside, in the LULU live in the room, I live outside the spread, the luggage in the sofa. O'clock, bow tie, uniformed attendants of pushing a cart to send individual rooms. We have no appetite, but at the end of the day was really a bit tired, not direct to dinner, to bed. In train ashtray ashtray voice, we soon gone to sleep. This is our to Egypt after the first night.

September 29, arrive Aswan, visit the unfinished Obelisk, the Aswan Dam, Filemon, climb aboard a cruise ship, cruise the Nile dhows, Aswan market

5: 20 in the morning, the sky has already turned white.

I woke up early, LULU also. The wash, the toilet before we sat in front of the window, daft window looking scenes. Old small housing, tall coconut tree constantly from our eyes. Flakes green grain, an ownerless maize, sorghum, sugar cane. Dawn, wrapped scarf, wearing the robes of Egypt Uncle leisurely sit in donkey cart, ass Merry in road racing. 5: 45, train in an unknown station stop on. I wanted to get off and LULU to platform to breathe in Egypt agricultural country, but in the fresh air door at both ends of the cars is not open. We can only be used in the car, on the platform by the police with a gun, with waved to Oriental greetings.

Eastern horizon has begun from white to red, 5: 51, the Sun showed it face the surrounding scenery dyed blonde.

The train then went forward, 7: 00 arrive at Luxor, was unable to get off at the station.

7: 30 the conductor came very rich breakfast, content, there are five or six different types of bread, jam, fruit juice.

10: 10, we arrived at the Terminal-Aswan.

Aswan railway station is a red granite-built two-story building, the area is not large, the waiting room and ticket office, is a less than 400 square meters of Office Small Office, the walls painted with typical of ancient Egypt-style frescoes.

Opposite of the station building is a large square, green beautifully, building left direction is Aswan market.

Aswan (Aswan) bordering the Nile River, the capital of the Aswan governorate, Egypt is also the cleanest streets, the most beautiful cities.

It is located in the southernmost of Egypt, Egypt and other African countries for trade of the town, is also a portal to Sudan. It is located in the South-East of the Nile "waterfall" of the East Coast, from Cairo, 900 km/h. History to Egypt's southern gateway to the Nubian portal, waterway and Camel Caravan crossroads. In the era of ancient Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and trading centres (Coptic language "Aswan," namely, the "market"), is one of the Aswan governorate administrative and business centre.>

Got off the train, we didn't feel like some netizens described the rolling waves.

Tour members are all the luggage on the bus as the last row of seats, our van to distance Aswan city only two km from the ruins of the ancient quarry.

Aswan is rich in high-quality red granite, stone is very good, there are more colors specks carnelian red, stone body smooth note Ze, even if it is in the modern luxury of building decoration materials, Egypt many famous architectural stone often used in Aswan mining.

In Aswan city edge have been built along the Nile, some 6 km of the ancient quarries, a huge unfinished Obelisk quietly here lie the three thousand years, this is Al otsep Sudal Queen's legacy project. The Obelisk is 41 m 1267 tons, up to three sides have finished, just dug the first four, the discovery of cracks, so was abandoned, if completed, it will be the tallest Obelisk Egypt.

Obelisk is the ancient Egypt Pharaoh period important, landmark building, through the establishment of the Pharaohs Obelisk on its own praises, would like to extend eternally.

Not only in Egypt, in Paris, the Concorde, Rome's St. Peter's Cathedral Square, is from Egypt looting of Obelisk trace, they seem to be better than Egypt homeland Obelisk more often appears in newspapers and magazines of the picture.

LULU and I climbed to the highest point of the quarries, looking at the surrounding landscape.

I was surprised and not at the foot of a large number of tourists and lay there's obelisk, nor is the opposite that a large Muslim graveyard, but here is a post and two armed policemen. Although they face have been hung with a smile, but I do not think so.

Read the ancient quarries, we at 13: 40 to the Aswan Dam.

Nile flooded every year several thousand years, and also to the lower reaches of the River Nile Valley brings hypertrophy of silt, forming a large tracts of agricultural land.

Later, United Kingdom and the Government of Egypt in 1898 and 1960 started here, the construction of two dams proliferation from Nile no longer and upstream has formed the 500 km-long Lake Nasser. Built in 1902, the old dam from the city over five kilometres, height 53 m long 2152 m, reservoir 53 billion cubic meters, electricity 34.5 million kilowatts, 57 million hectares of irrigated farmland. July 1970, completion of the Aswan High Dam, high 110 m long and 3400 meters, in China's Three Gorges dam built in into the former, is the world's largest dams, Egypt people are proud of. High Dam with irrigation, flood control, power generation, transportation and comprehensive benefits. Each year, provides 740 billion cubic meters of reliable irrigation water, generating 100 million degrees, 2 500 kV high-voltage transmission lines to Cairo and Egypt, and the supply of locally. Of course the dam was built, has also created some negative effects, such as climate change, the decline in soil fertility. Dam-look there is nothing special, but blue Nasser Lake really make people feel relaxed and happy. Because of the important role of the dam, dam week again at the traffic lights you will see a number of military facilities, dam above also has lots of visits of armed police, but did not find such as some books in the "prohibition of the use of telephoto lenses and telescopes" notices, we are in the camera, not the police and they just used the vigilant eyes watching our visitors.

The bus leaves the Aswan High Dam to the town, the old dam and down turned about 1 km, came to a small Pier.

Terminal a lot of embellishments docked sizes of vessels, both can take forty tourist cruise, there will only be able to take five or six people in a small motorboat. We will go from here aghil Chiana Island bafile zhong Temple.

Motorboat in Blue Lake in the line of whitewater, quickly to aghil Chiana island.

Around the island, the great ancient buildings appear in our vision, and as the distance near, more and more big and clear. Our small island a small Terminal on the back of the island.

ToFile Temple is bafile Egypt temples on the island groups collectively, one of the most ancient Nick Brittany cloth II King temple, built in the beginning of the century, b.c. 4 largest temple is iciz, Department of Ptolemy II fee plataea Fabius built by the King, and worship the goddess of temple Khater and for Roman Emperor Ventura real sacrifice is to rest on the island of Ventura's booth.

Known as the "King of ancient Egypt throne of Pearl" of Egypt, ancient temple built originally in the island, with brilliant and unique architecture, magnificent and colourful sculpture and Cliff Anaglyph of fairy tales.

1902 Aswan low dam blocking the Nile water, bafile Temple portion be submerged.

1960s in the southern Philippines Les Island build Temple, High Dam almost all be submerged. In order to protect these precious relics from damage, from 1972 onwards, with the help of the UNESCO, the Government of Egypt in the temple and build a cofferdam around, Weir in river water pumping dry, then this group of temples down into 45000 block stones and more than 100 stone pillar, a root of a number after August 1979 at a distance of about 1 bafile Island km of aghil Kiya, according as it is on the island. In 1980, March 10, 1998 at bafile Temple was officially opened on the back. So far the temple wall still was flooded.

ToFile Temple main temple worship goddess iciz, iciz goddess is Egypt's most important God of the underworld God Osiris (Osiris) wife, Eagle God-Ruz (Horus) mother, known as earth mother and baby's patron saint.

Later iciz will husband's dead body here. Apollo was touched by the prayer of the Sith, the Osiris resurrection, and let iciz conceives of their son-Luce. -Ruth grew up as the parent of revenge,Killed and Seth. Later, people in the head when Osiris is accumulation bafile Island built the temple.

ToFile Temple is an ancient Egypt's Pharaohs at the end of the stay, the sacrifice Center with the stark Greece Roman Ptolemy the characteristics of the times.

The Temple of the pillars and walls have many emboss, carving techniques and smooth, vivid nature, whether it is a temple of tall tower door statue of Pharaoh and the gods, or on both sides of the paper at the top of the pillars, sedge, and regardless of the interior walls to sacrifice the screen goddess, or outside the walls of the Temple of scenes on the set, every detail is definitely worth watching carefully. In addition, standing at Tula's Pavilion outward on the other side, the Aswan Dam on the River, the old glance.

It is noon, sunshine is sufficient, the temperature should be above the 35 degrees Celsius, although very dry, very hot, but relatively few tourists.

Not that old, coax make the noise of the scene, you can still experience, enjoy and taste of ancient Egypt people left civilization heritage.

Visit the finished film Les temples, we again take the motor boat back to the dam side of Pier transfer our van, along the Eastern Bank of the Nile, through the urban area, Aswan arrived at the North train station at Aswan, 2 3 km cruise ship terminal.

Along the way to watch the Aswan urban scenery. 14: 20, we boarded a tulip, a cruise ship.

As we reach the waiter before you cruise ship in the dock, our car was just stopped, they came to help us remove luggage out of the car and want to help our luggage to the room.

This guide has reminded us, to send luggage tips is 1USD. For many years formed the habit I choose their own luggage. Enter the cruise ships of the gate, is a security inspection of the door, like airport security channel. Egypt's security checks work very fine, various attractions and train station, the entrance to the cruise ships have such security doors. The security doors, we put your luggage in the Hall, the team leader and guide to handling room check-in procedure, we sat in a layer of large bar Hall sofa, drinking the Nubian waiter delivered iced drink, relax and rest. 10 minutes later, the team put the room key to us, and agreed to go to lunch, 16: 00 in the boat layer Hall collection, go rafting on the Nile.

Our room on the second floor of the boat, the room number is 220.

This is a similar hotel in standard room, with separate bathroom. Room and bathroom area was also relatively large, TV, telephone, refrigerator, safe, and a fully-should be facilities bed sheets, towels and other health supplies are very clean, hot water is sufficient. Opposite is a door to open the window of the whole sector, outward looking, Blue Nile within reach. I cruise of environmental facilities is relatively satisfied with this, after all, is known as five-star luxury cruise ship.

After, we settled down to minus one layer of the restaurant.

The restaurant is also good, several uniformed attendant to provide each visitor with the service. These two days we basically have dinner on the boat, the restaurant offers the meals compared to single, basically is a typical Western food.

After dinner, my years of travel habits, going from top to bottom this cruise is carefully inspected.

The ship was a total of 5 floors, there are four floors above the deck. Top level is the open-air bars and a small swimming pool, the second and third floors and the first half of the rooms, the first layer of the second part is a large lounge room, every night held different styles of the party, there are performances. Deck the next tier is a restaurant and a shop.

Back to the room a little city break, we come to the Hall collection, down to the pier ride wind yacht to sail on the Nile.

Winds yacht, probably four or five metres long, has a longer than hull a triangular sails, relying on Wind River. Boat with two skinned Nubian, boats, they are one in the bow rigging the sails, one person in the Palm of the rudder on the stern. Ship to the Nile from the Central, towards Elephant Island. I sat in the bow, holding binoculars looking at a distance of beautiful scenery. Aswan beautiful scenery of the Nile, East Coast is clean Aswan city, red granite building wall, the West Bank was a scattered Loess Hills and mountains, dotted with many caves, is said to be the tomb of nobles, the Nile is the elephant in the middle of the island, the island of Green Green, and Blue Nile River, red, yellow, green, forming a perfect landscape. In the navigation, the captain took out a lot of tourist souvenirs and gadgets, the way to do business. LULU saw a snake made of wood, the Boatman's quote 2 DOLLAR, US DOLLAR, 1 Boatman's not selling. Miss guided tours ROSE continually doing presentations, which speak to sentence Egypt stated: "drank water from the Nile, you'll come to Egypt. "Heard this saying, look at the surrounding beauty of the scenery, I can't help but to skim a round water of the Nile. The Nile water cool kaoliang, also with a hint of sweetness into mouth felt a stirring.

About 17: 30, we go downwind sail away, boats or take out a snake, agreed to buy the 1 DOLLAR to LULU.

To be honest, I have on this snake is not interested, but see LULU and boats that looks forward to the eyes, or take out a 1 DOLLAR.

Back to the ship's room, LULU propose to go swimming, we change the good bathing costumes to the top-level, swimming pool, only half a asked what is going to change the water, to swim tomorrow, there is no way that I can go back, but in taking half a LULU pool swimming for half an hour.

19: 00 dinner in the evening, or Western food.

We recommend to friends of chilli sauce, mustard, vegetable and became the most popular products.

After dinner, in the event of the suggestion of DM Lady, our family of three, two, and DM XS brothers go to the famous Aswan market.

In the disembarkation, ship security took out a card with a spread my wings of Eagles, also with the name of the boat. This card can play two roles, one as we ship is identity verification of credentials, the second is to return to the wharf, onceCruise ships docked position changes, you can let the terminal managers help find cruise ships.

Disembarked, the pier and a few carriage, which is Egypt many cities of main transport.

We waited a while for a taxi, a three-row seat of Rada. Egypt's taxi no lamp nor special colors or flags, but if you notice it's license plate, with the words "TAXI". We tell the driver that we want to go to Aswan market, talked about, the finalization of a TOTAL of ten pounds. On the bus, taxi, along the main road along the Aswan South to go about three kilometres to Aswan market.

Aswan market is the history of ancient Egypt and Africa other tribes-trading places, the word "Aswan" itself in Coptic language that is marketplace.

Aswan Aswan market is located on the South side of the railway station, is a North-South streets, about 1.5 km either side of the street are shops. Here and Cairo in very different ways, mostly Nubian blacks. Nubian skin is black, but feeling than Africans delicate delicate face is a little more to the Middle East, a high nose, big eyes, long eyelashes. Many Nubian very enthusiastic, while Chinese saying "Hello", enthusiastically took you to his shop lira. Of course, they say the price of power also is not inferior to Cairo's Egypt, but even if you don't buy anything, they will also send you leave with a smile. Many Nubian like Chinese people, especially children, our House LULU is also very popular, some shopkeepers also actively took out some fruit and Saint Beatles, small flavor bottle and other small souvenirs to LULU.

We turned in Aswan market for about two hours, don't buy anything, but the market has left a deep impression.

And Cairo Hariri market compared to Aswan market tourist products and crafts of the species, the price is not cheap, but like spices, fruits and other products is relatively cheap. Us out of the market, stopped a taxi driver, when asked HOW MUCH, thanks to the experience, I venture to say 5 pounds, but a good driver. In order to prevent deception, DM repeated with drivers that are TOTAL prices, not ONE PERSON, the answer is YES.

Approximately 11: 30, we went back to the boat.

Originally thought that ship on the top of the couch quietly watching sky full of stars, but the thought of tomorrow 3 point go I awaited Abu usimbe Temple, or get to sleep.

30 September, visit the Temple of Abu Yassin Baylor, cruise ship sailing to KOM El ombu, sunset tour double Temple in

Follow the tour itinerary, 3: 10 a.m. morning call ringing of the phone, get up, wash, proceeding from the collection.

This time we sat on a toilet with VOLVO car, we more than ten individuals sit so much of a car that feels like a luxury. 4: 00 limousine to collection sites, here set out four, 50 great car, but there are several police cars. Egypt's tourism industry are well developed, although the street running vehicles are very worn, but provided for foreign tourists are very advanced, passenger car fleet Limousine is a Buon VOLVO. Wait about 10 minutes, the team set off. Since a few years ago several of Egypt destinations happened some terrorist attacks in Egypt on tourist safety very seriously. On the one hand in the various tourist attractions are a lot of gun-play of the police, on the other hand, to the important attractions of the scheduling of tourist unity ride limousine, unity of time, a unified view, head and tail of the fleet have motorcades and escort.

Fleet out of Aswan city, under the stars, toward the South, 200 kilometers outside of the Temple of Abu Yassin Baylor.

Convoy along the way, most of the time driving in the desert, due to a too early, the majority of the members of the tour bus after being asleep. About 5 o'clock train to a stop, an understanding that the original is in front of the car's rear tire burst, we get the driver active drivers help front tire change. Looking at the back of a car than we went forward, my heart out for the driver to produce a little dissatisfied with you when Lei I didn't, but you don't waste our time to travel. Limousine for tires and the car is much different, trouble. Half an hour passed, and the vehicle's tire finally swapped out, we set off again. The whole fleet has long since disappeared after the road leaving our car. When the East horizon has turned red, 5: 43, round red Sun in the desert margins suddenly jumped out of the horizon, the whole desert dyed a golden. The desert has many pyramid looks like a small hill, at the dawn of the Sun, leaving a long shadow.

About 7: 45, we came to Abu Yassin Baylor.

From the car park, you can see is a soil-and a gateway to the temple receiver beautiful stone road, road side is yellow, sale of tourist souvenir of wooden houses, on the other side of a tall coconut jujube trees and colourful flowers. After your ticket office, along the path around the small soil-, previously in TV, the picture often see four huge statues suddenly appears in front of us, this is my heart tricks awaited Abu Yassin Baylor Temple.

Abu Yassin Baylor Temple in the mountain wall cutting, facing the blue of Lake Nasser, 4 superior Rameses Temple colossus, sits at the entrance, Huihong.

Abu Builder of the Temple of symplectic Baylor is called eternal Emperor of Rameses II, known as the worship the Sun god Amun, God, is actually the ones for your own history. Abu Yassin Baylor Temple originally not here, in the 1960s, the construction of the Aswan Dam the second seat, the seat of the Temple will be flooded with water forever, Egypt's Government in order to keep this precious legacy, to seek the help of the world, the world's scientists proposed a variety of scenarios, the final decision to cut the temple, and the overall removal of the in-situ high than site near, 60 metres. If you look carefully, in the Temple still can see the cutting surface.

Standing at Rameses II in front of the giant like, really feel itself.

Although I used too many times to the Buddha's feet, a masterpiece of ancient compatriotsCheer. But this time when we are faced with larger time span, I had to 3000 years before Egypt amazed the wisdom of the people.

In addition to General books on content, give me the deepest impression is Rameses II giant like overhead 23 Baboon, entrance to the side wall of a string is a rope tied around his neck of Nubian prisoners, as well as by text of Rameses II.

After the tour, we went to the car park, we have a lot of traffic in tourist souvenirs of small shops, hawkers were called at one dollar, to sell you their products.

You never think that they are willing to one dollar price their goods sold to you, for them, the one dollar just their touting of oratory. I saw a set of Abu Yassin Baylor Temple postcard, ask price, 25 pounds. I answered more than 5 pounds and I do not, the black Nubian guy said no, minimum 10 pounds, I said to him, I can buy two sets of total 10 pounds, and then turned away. Going out in about 20 meters, the Nubian young man with two sets of postcard to chase up, OK, deal.

About the 9: 45, we sat on the bus, cross the desert along the original route, return to Aswan city.

At this time, deserts and desert dawn, Dawn desert quiet serene in the rising sun is magnificent. While close to noon the desert is a dry heat, looking away, as if the rolling waves of transpiration of fuzzy fibrillation. On the way back to our bus out of point defects, machine oil lamp to light up, the alarm sounds continuously drops came, I was worried that it would not be anchored on the run out.

More than half in the afternoon, we went back to the boat.

At two o'clock, cruise ships set sail on time to the Nile River. After lunch and a short rest, I take the kids to a top cruise ships. After a midday sun baoshai, swimming pool water temperature is very suitable. Egypt is a desert climate, drying, while the Sun is very hot, but once you hide the shade will have a cool feeling. We sat on the couch under the gazebo, breathing the fresh air on the Nile, while watching the children play in bright and the pool.

At half past four, cruise ships against the KOM El ombu (Kom ombo) Terminal, from where we go ashore to visit the Temple of Kom El ombu.

KOM El ombu Temple is located on the East Bank of the Nile River, very near from the dock, dock full of cruise ships of all sizes. Far, temple like floating in the water of a Lotus, a large number of big stone columns form the Lotus petals.

We have just embarked on the pier, the temple gate bucket snake '.

A two-meter-long snake Cobra with the bucket is music to dance, to spit at the mouth of a child. Although very fresh, but more felt or terrorist, or accelerated away from the danger to the foot.

Temple of Kom El ombu was previously people worship the God-Luce and Eagle the Crocodile God sobec, interior space to the East-West axis, forming a symmetrical two sacrificial area.

The overall relative large column Hall holds the roof in good condition, stigma still bright colours. Temple of internal wall also carved image vivid relief, in addition to the usual sacrifice to the gods of reflect Pharaoh of the scene, there are many sites reflect the woman's image. One piece is iciz childbirth born Dutch Ruth scenes, and some pregnant women sitting in a Chair waiting for deliveries during delivery. Most people feel incredible is the last row of the wall, even very clearly carved some obstetric surgical tools, like a scalpel, scissors, tweezers, cotton ball, its shape and modern medical devices are almost identical, it is difficult to imagine 3000 years ago of Egypt should be able to have such a level of civilization.

In the left side of the temple there is a huge well, this is the ancient Egypt's hydrological station.

Shaft is circling down stairs, deep wells and the Nile River, through observation of the water in the deep to understand the Nile fluctuations. In deep wells with a rectangular pits, it is said that this is the place for people to feed the crocodile. Temple right front there is a cottage with a big three small, four with crocodile Mummy, overall very clear, as modern people making animal specimens.

From the Temple of Kom El ombu out just under the sunset, setting sun, lantian it red ray casting in Kom El ombu Temple wall, this scene has fascinated me, but also fascinated many youyou.

At approximately 17: 50, last ray of the Sun disappears in the Nile River on the West Coast coconut angustifolia, this is my life to see the most beautiful time of sunset.

After dinner, I once again came to the front of the boat.

I Chair from the gazebo next drag-out, a man lying on the top, but looking at the stars in the night sky. Nile night light, no pollution, no stars feeling. I have found after W shape of sin, and through its constellation found Polaris and Dipper. Further to the point of view, by virtue of my younger years in astronomy aspect of accumulation, and easily identify the lyre of Vega and Aquila Altair, but I have not seen between two star-shaped Galaxy yudai idleness.

Back to the room, I opened the window, outside, dark, occasionally be able to see the dots of light.

Cruise speed quite quickly, and propel the WHIR of the acoustic wind and poured down.

Cell phone rings with a "beep" sounds, friends of blessings.

Tomorrow is national day, hastened to write short letters to friends with regards of Nile.

October 1, visit the edfu Temple, in esna is docked, esna lock

6: 30 in the morning, we at edfu dock down the ship, in accordance with the plan to edfu Temple.

Edfu Temple is still some distance from the Terminal, visitors often choose to ride horse-drawn carriage. We just stood to the side of the road, a car, a carriage stopped. These are Western wagon, four small taxi, front, rear, rear axle with spring, sitting in the car is very secure. La horses are very tall and strongStrong neck bronze bells hanging on, in order to allow it to follow the master's command to quickly run, owners purposely give it wear blinkers.

Our family and team leader YR MM ride a car owners are very hospitable, but we still feel that as long as the money behind the smile.

Wagon in edfu town Benz, the hoofs and jingle jingle bells.

At this time there are already some pupils went on his way to school, we waved. Cart away in less than ten minutes, we got to the edfu Temple.

Edfu Temple parking lot in front of hundreds of cars were stopped similar in shape, the scene of the cart is extremely impressive, I seemed to see the phantom had thousands years ago Pharaoh Grand chariot.

Get off the owners passion for photography to us, although we know that this is a "smiling" deals, but saw the very distinctive, sumptuous luxury wagon, we agreed on the transaction, two pounds.

Edfu is a small town, located in the middle of Aswan and Luxor, edfu temple to worship the God of the Eagle, charge-Ruth is Osiris and son of iciz, ancient Egypt people think all surviving Pharaoh is the embodiment of HORUS, so each Pharaoh had idolized superba Ruth God, built many temple to worship the God-Ruth, Eagle one of the most famous is the edfu Temple.

This temple has been buried, 19th century golden sand in the 1960s to sort out, is currently preserved intact in Egypt Temple. The temple was built in Ptolemaic era, its architectural style and FileMon Temple are very similar, particularly tall tower gate and Tower door Pharaoh was hit with a baton, he seized the hair of the enemy's relief almost exactly the same with ToFile Temple. Edfu Temple has two Tower door, two tower gate is a small Plaza empty, all around the walls and pillars are inscribed with exquisite relief, of which several are manifestations of Pharaoh Coronation scene. -Ruth and iciz station in Pharaoh's sides to the Pharaoh's Coronation as the legitimate ruler of Egypt, the following image Pharaoh did not take the Crown, but the above image Pharaoh with dual Crown, this is just before and after the coronation of the process. Of course, more is the performance of the Pharaoh to Dutch Luce and iciz presented the offerings of the image. Edfu Temple Tower door large scale, in the first tower in front of a two meter high statue of the Eagle, and the most famous statue of the God-Ruth Eagle is on the second line of the statue in front of the tower with double Crown, Martial Eagle black granite statue of God. But do not like the next station-Egypt "in the description of the Hawk 10 m high statue of a God, I see that less than six metres. And unlike other temple of edfu Temple big column room ceiling base intact, although the Hall seem a bit dark, but lively and elegant embossed but make it shine.

Save relatively good edfu Temple, so that we can fully enjoy the thousands of years ago, the brilliant civilization of ancient Egypt.

But the temple during the sabotage of marks also frequently used. First, because of the exotic religious invasion, the Temple had been converted into a monastery, some relief to the people, on the walls and pillars, the emergence of many very harmonious cross image; the second is the legend of Napoleon's soldiers Eagle temple as the kitchen, the smoke of the roof and walls made of dark.

8: 30, we left the edfu Temple, carriages went back to the Terminal.

On the way back, sitting in a cab in front of the LULU operators, grab the reins, when a small driver.

On this day in addition to visit the edfu Temple, no other tour project, we are mainly active on the cruise.

LULU or together with other children, in a small cruise on the top floor playing in the swimming pool, fully feel the sunshine leisure pleasure. I was standing at the bow with telescope, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Nile, experience with General Patton and the battle for North Africa's pride Rommel.

Noon of the Nile in the Sun's direct next turned to the dark blue color, the cruise boats lined up in a White Ribbon, slowly to downstream fall away.

Approximately 12: 00 sharp, cruise ships dock in esna Pier, wait too esna lock.

Esna is 120 km south of Luxor, Nile a small town on the West Coast to esna lock.

Far forward, a bridge across the River Nile, on the West side of the bridge is a narrow waterway. Looking to the West Bank, and the Terminal phase of a small town in a main road, many small shops directly across the water in the face of a docking of cruise ships in dock, hawkers were screaming loudly to peddle them to us. Occasionally you can still see the River rowing little sampan shuttle to sell merchandise between the cruise ships. We ship all around there are many cruise ships to dock, eyes looking are wearing swimwear swimming trunks lying on top of swimming, Sun bathing ship, chat, including exposure, sexy, skin color, different States babes. Boat dock, we are told not to disembark, cruise ships may sail. But several hours have passed, we approached several cruise have disappeared, only we're still waiting quietly. See a dial dialing of tourists disembark and then carrying large packages, packages of things back to the boat, our hearts are itching. Team leader asked YR MM, the crew informed we can ship to go around town, but to 18: 00 before returning to the boat. In this way, our family and several members of the tour at approximately 16: 30 or so away from cruise ships.

Esna small town shops, mainly concentrated in the two streets.

One is the Nile's North-South orientation of the main road, the other one is from the pier entrance to the West of the small streets, walk along the street to go to esna Temple. We went to the Temple of esna, the temple was closed, two armed police sitting in front of the entrance, smile and want to help our photography, I smile and turned him down. Esna small town shops selling is flavor bottle, handicrafts, paper sedge art, etc, and other places are, relatively cheap, but due to fewer tourists, commodity update of slow, is very dirty, thick a layer of soil in the fall. Esna town streets rather backward, many places are dirt track, a little water into the mud. We are walking, suddenly saw a black long hair sheepAcross the street, one of the only also climbed the roadside tree, eating leaves, really let me. When the Sun had set, Muslims began to eat their "breakfast" in the stack the stack of pie has been on the street, the street of the small restaurant has been opened, all filled with the smell of mutton soup, ditch the hearers of my belly.

We get in back in before 18: 00, the cruise ships in a layer of the Hall, I came across a guide when big iron, chat about MP3, big iron said many people in Egypt to MP3 are very interested, ask our band.

Happened to us with an MP3 of LENOVO, we show it to the big iron, big iron with us to the underlying restaurant tuck shop beside, tuck shop boss and we bargain for half an hour, and at last he came up to sell me this USD52 year before buy it, then the price is 300 yuan of MP3. Consider this a few days of relaxation needs, ultimately we don't do the deal. But we do feel the Egypt people on MP3.

Back to the boat, the day is almost all black, but dinner there is also a period of time.

They are all back to the room to rest, I got the top deck, lying on the couch waiting for departure. From a ship xiangyi RA town, to be able to see three tall Xuan Li Tower, each tower has a loudspeaker. 19: 00, three loudspeaker to clamor started bubbling up, and like each other in more than one voice.

20: 20, waiting for eight and a half hours later, our cruise ships and finally the loudspeaker of the tumult in left the wharf, coming to the lock.

Fast nine, cruise ships pass through the bridge on the West side of the fairway. I think this is esna lock, feeling very disappointed. Then I went back to the bottom side of the restaurant, and the group chat with day, enjoy our dinner. Is chatting, eating, and suddenly felt something which met, from the restaurant's dizzy looking out the window, feel pleasure boat also has entered a lock, I quickly picked up the camera to the top level. To the top-level, cruise ship, then just entered after the gate is closed, start on the water to lower the water level. It only takes less than three minutes, the water level fell more than ten meters, also waved, standing in the control room of the police, at this time already high in our overhead. The whole time through lock is more than ten minutes, than by having three gorges of the Yangtze River Cruise feeling far gezhouba.

5: 00 in the Morning, the phone Call of the bell rings, we quickly on time to get up, wash, Pack, and then go to the restaurant to enjoy our breakfast cruise last.

Hurriedly, missed out on the boat to see the sunrise. At about 6: 15, we cruise Hall collection, reluctantly left we had three days of cruise ships.

Terminal is located in the East of the Nile River, North of Luxor city.

Luxor in ancient times called Thebes, the intent is to "have a thousand gates of the city". Thebes was in the Kingdom and the new Kingdom period, the capital of ancient Egypt, was once the most prosperous in the history of mankind. Today's Luxor also to its wealth of monuments, heritage worldwide renown as Egypt civilization tour of a station. Thebes by the urban layout with obvious characteristics of ancient Egypt, ancient Egypt to the Nile, East Coast is the place where the Sun is the living world, the people living here, the construction of the temple dedicated to the gods, and the West Bank is sunset, is deceased rest of the world, people built mausoleum in the West Bank and the Temple of the sacred lost Pharaoh.

Dock docking of cruise ships, used to describe a little wall too much.

We meet the Chaoyang 1425 cruise ships, in Terminal transfer COASTER Van West Valley of the Kings.

Today is our entire programme most busy stressful day, not only to visit Luxor's many famous attractions, but also the long journey in the desert, to the Red Sea Angel Gorda.

The previous day and group leader, tour travel, I discussed on today's schedule has raised the objection, I do not believe that high quality to complete this itinerary. From the final result, we do follow the plan completed the same day of travel itinerary, but somewhat in various spots yet feel. Although for some tourists, a few days before the visit of the temple, the temple has been suffering from the syndrome, for today's tourist quality has gone too high. But for me this civilization of the ancient Egypt almost addicted tourists, this mode of tourism was making me a lot of regrets.

We drove through the Nile on a bridge, in the West Bank Valley of loess in transit a Bay, approximately at 6: 50, we came to the King of the West Nile Valley--during the new Kingdom Pharaohs of the cemetery.

The ticket office at the coach park, far we buy up votes, also need to take the car to the entrance of the Valley of the Kings. From the entrance to the inside, resembling the shape of a pyramid-shaped peaks suddenly stands in front of us, in the dawn hours under the Sun of the map. It is said that the ancient Egypt's rulers in the capital to Thebes, follow the habits in the West Bank of the Nile, in search of a place for construction of the mausoleum. By chance one day, a Pharaoh came here, looked up and saw this mountain, this is not a God to give me a pyramid constructed? so he put in the tombs of sites here. Then his sons were also buried in the spirit of the selected place. Experience the ancient kingdoms period Grand pyramid, new Kingdom period methodOld in order to avoid the looters to mausoleum, will no longer build compelling pyramid, but secret buried in the small valley. But it is cut at the end of the looters, even in times of Pharaoh, stand had already begun. The results lead to King Valley nearly 100 seat is empty, the tomb of Pharaoh, leaving only the beautiful murals. While Howard. Carter in 1926 discovery of sakaltutan scammon's tomb is located at Rameses VI Pharaoh's Tomb below only survived in thousands of years. Blue skies, barren valleys still guarding the tomb of the Pharaoh for thousands of years, perhaps in the Valley of a corner, there is not yet discovered the secrets of the Pharaohs.

Each King Valley tickets can visit three tomb.

According to the book and netizens, the most representative is 3, 6, 9, 15 and 34, Tomb. Unfortunately we go, known as the most exquisite Xie Tethys a tomb is not open. We went on a guided tour, visited Rameses II, Rameses IV and figure-Morse III mausoleum. In order to protect cultural relics, during a visit to the mausoleum is strictly forbidden to use cameras and camcorders. Since my camera's lens cap did not cover that allows me to visit, a security guard on my side "accompany" a lot of time. In the Valley of the Kings of the Pharaoh's Tomb structures are similar, or too complex, are basically a tomb and connect before and after the walk. In the tomb around and walk along both sides of a large number of mural painting. Murals are portrayed Pharaoh died, the reservoir of God leads to another world. Murals of color, though after thousands of years, but still bright. Each tomb since ventilating, visitors stand on the inside, very prone to Vertigo feeling oppressed, particularly in the figure, the mausoleum of Morse III.

(To be verified in Supplement)

From the Valley of the Kings, we went to the famous El otsep Sudal Queen famous Temple, it is because on the one hand, otsep Sudal was ancient Egypt history only a female Pharaoh, on the other hand, it is because in 1997 in the Temple of Islamic extremists gun shot and tourists.

Queen Temple is actually made up of three Temple, the principal is El otsep Sudal Queen, the right side of the Queen her husband illustration-Morse II of the temple, turn right again, you are already abandoned Hamon hua Temple of StEPP III and pyramid ruins. The whole temple scale, using the up and down three cascading into the structure. Each layer stands a statue of the great female Pharaoh. In each tier Colonnade walls, carved Temple construction and reflected the Festival's statue. But I was particularly impressed by the same is the second layer on both sides of buildings in colourful frescoes.
