Travel Egypt, Turkey (D14)

Day 14-1/28 (Wed) Alexandra Alexander to Cairo

Few business volume, we left several people decided to give up Matruh, so the morning trip to the Rosetta.

The driver is obviously not very familiar with the way a few times to stop asking passers-by. But Egypt people still interested, ask for directions are very detailed advice. The town you can see the symbol of the Rosetta Stone of the block, but is not shown, the real physical sleep now in the British Museum. Let's go to the town of the first attractions Citadel of Qaitbay, this is a fortress, as can be seen from the Tower in the distance the Nile and the crossroads of Eastern Mediterranean, tickets are 6 El. The original Rosetta Museum has been torn down, listen to the locals there are nearby introduced the famous Ottoman era of three buildings, the tickets are 6 El. The first is a bit similar to the hand-Mills, the latter is then baths and residential areas. Listen to the pronunciation of the wizard with Egypt English on building structures feel particularly tired, sometimes even a bit suspect what is English or Arabic. But one thing we all understand that it is the Arab woman had no status at all, but here is a very happy man no doubt.

Rosetta Stone in spite of the extraordinary archeological sense of value, but Rosetta this place is highly recommended to visit.

This town is not the most attractive is the ancient buildings and monuments, which is docked to the Nile shore being constructed by the vessel. Car too when we see a lot of all hand-crafted a great variety of vessel, volume about truck size, many are still in the start-up phase, you can clearly see the keel over and dowel head. It is hard to imagine the years rafting on the Nile on a vessel is made by manual. This also reminds me of a dozen Aswan drifting that take care of our hour's skipper and that night we see Nubian village, all economic sources depends on the body and hands to create. Compared to them, we travel around is undoubtedly very happy!

Afternoon we went straight to the Montaza Palace, tickets are 4 El/person.

The car can drive, there's a McDonald 's, resolve lunch is not a problem! this old Palace is now open, the external garden very very impressive, especially here at Eastern Mediterranean than anywhere else is beautiful. That kind of blue is quite bright, like just like with dye. Waves on the beach for flowed, relaxed people really want to burst into the embrace of the sea. Shoot photos we let drivers inside pocket, and then concluded long-term Charter, this fee is 150 El/six. And then our own taxi to Pompey ' s Pillar (Pompeii pillar), The Roman Theatre (Roman Theatre) and Citadel of Qaitbay (card Iraq-Bey Fort), except the last one is 6 El, others are 3 El. New to Pompeii ruins of giant columns have the kind of feeling of the Winter Palace (although I didn't see the yuanmingyuan is), there are ruins and ruins, many stone also be numbered. Walk up the steps near Pompeii column found high than imagined a lot, here is the site of the library of Alexandria, it is said that previously there are posts like this! Karnak Temple 400 root of large columns column Hall also only 134 root, the highest and the root is difference of 1 m, it is not surprising that the Alexandria Library at that time known as the world's largest libraries, large is simply ridiculous! compared to the Roman Theatre is quite compact, modeling, and world famous Rome round bucket veterinary field similar to semicircle, most can only accommodate up to 100 people. Side have the beach is still in the finish.

Finally go to the Eastern Mediterranean side of Rakai soil Bey Fort, than the morning of the integrity.

It was built in the seven wonders of the lighthouse site by Ross, from an upper Fort you can see the vast expanse of beautiful Eastern Mediterranean. Here we have a team from Taiwan's tours, tour guides are the locals speak Chinese, it seems that the Government of Egypt also began to pay attention to the tourists in China. Back when it was still very early, we then runs along the shoreline slowly in the direction to the hotel. Here is a bit of traffic than Egypt elsewhere, but the cart or often on the road, was not sufficiently coordinated.

In the evening our Singapore friends please let's go local hotels had a seafood meal.

Fishing from the sea just to the fish and shrimp. But Egypt's cooking techniques are really afraid to flattered, grilled and fried little third eating experience. We then a 7 individual tell a table of the cauliflower 400 El, this itinerary was the most extravagant dinner.
