West to Egypt, 14-day non-self-Egypt free line travels (9) "Temple, Temple, or temple"

February 23, "the temple, the temple, or temple"

Aswan－Kom omho－Edfu－Luxor

Luxor Ancient Thebes, like China, Luoyang, Xi'an is the famous ancient Egypt, ancient Egypt Temple of emperors, the highest concentration of the mausoleum.

In Luxor Street often hanging over very interesting tourism advertising, the title is the One hundred years ago, the Luxor, the content is more than 100 years ago in Luxor city or attractions map, description, and where to Egypt are required to Luxor.

As in the 1990s, Egypt had occurred in the central region of the Islamic extremist attacks on tourists and shipping time, especially in 1997 in the Hart cheppe Sudal Queen Temple occurred terrorist with a submachine gun fire, traveller's tragedy on Egypt's tourism produces a devastating blow, so until now, from this day in Egypt Cairo within the region, the coaches all must be made by the military escort, you can still see many box and whistling, police are everywhere, Egypt Government used the strongest expression of attitude to the world passenger security.

This Egypt trip before, during, and after all people ask us: Egypt-an unsafe? back on again after the media in a pop star in Egypt was blackmail of news, so we have to worry about is good, but I solemnly tell you: Egypt trip very secure, full-load ammunition tourist police, in Cairo on my morning walk also saw a policeman sitting in the bus side guard duty, even in the Red Sea Mohammed National Park where some barren Outback, can see two police sitting somewhere, was really a bit poor and boring.

In a Word, where visitors could reach the place, no matter what corner, there will be the police to protect you, Egypt trip, very safe.

Morning departure from Aswan, our buses in military vehicles escorted by heading to Luxor, Egypt's national distribution at the Temple of the large and small, in between Aswan and Luxor, three relatively famous Temple, limited time, we will go to the Temple of Kom omho crocodile and Horus Temple of Edfu, Esna has only one treasures of the temple.

Kom omho temple as close to the Nile River, well suited to those travelling in five-star cruise from Aswan to luxor visitor for pleasure, but if the full than buildings and beautiful relief sculpture, statue, or in the case of relatively late Edfu Temple of Horus even worth a go, unfortunately, just like the national geographic put it, because the entry from the Temple of Horus the square in front of the temple to go a long way, imposing a bit on the short.

Around two o'clock, we arrived in Luxor, Karnak Temple did not stay go straight to the base, and is full of holes full of tourists, the Valley of Karnak covers 200 hectares large, but in the middle of a large area is in ruins, visitors play or main Hamon temple area, so the actual regions than I imagined it to be small, Amun temples of the most famous of Rameses II statue, Kanak multi column Hall and Queen Obelisk, multiple-column Hall had already adopted the Nile tragedy "is well known around the world, Hart cheppe Sudal Queen Obelisk of interesting is located at: look from a distance, Obelisk of upper and lower section color distinct, is like the two stone mosaic, in fact, this Obelisk was a pillar made, the reason for this is because the Queen died later, inherited the throne of her Pharaoh Matute Morse III for a variety of psychological (please to refer to the background note) bent on the female Pharaoh in the world of the marks completely erased, therefore he commanded his men built a fence will sing Queen Queen Obelisk Central completely covered in hieroglyphs, but because of the obelisk in the upper part is the Sun god Amun, even the Pharaoh would not dare to openly disrespectful towards God, in the course of time, after thousands of years of wind, sun exposure, wait until the obelisk in modern people will clean up beside the wall, the Obelisk looks like is a concatenation of two pieces of stone.

In addition, there are in the Lake region a huge statue of scarab, my wife and I cannot be more, learn to various tourist-like around the scarab has seven ring counterclockwise Rao, edge around the ring side silent reading: life with your family, with your family.

The Temple in the Kanak, the best shot here is around the Lake, where you can set the Lake and two Obelisk placed in ideal angle, but it is here, my poor SONY 717 wide-angle bad problems exposed is no doubt that in the end, the mosque in Cairo, I was determined to make sure that the camera has to change.

In stead of the temple, I am still looking for the various language versions to a traditional Chinese for the Egypt art and history ", cost me, going to the Red Sea 70le sunny beach look.

In the evening we also visited the town centre of luxor luxor Museum, as the national geographic, said, this Museum is by far the best museums in Egypt, in terms of exhibits, layout, lighting, instructions can become world-class museums, in a large number of fine museums, the most amazing thing is the stone statue, in terms of the degree of exquisite carved lines include figures of texture, are amazing, when it brought the "Wu" when the wind, this first-rate art, I in Gansu Dunhuang grottoes in the Tang dynasty sculpture also saw, but the distance from the luxor Museum of Tang dynasty art in dynasty, a new dynasty boutique nearly two thousand years of gap, in Egypt, even the Chinese people are not eligible to boast a long history and splendid culture.

Anyway, the most splendid culture is the same, all roads lead to Rome, and the beautiful thing is not the time zone, Egypt civilization and civilization is the world's history as one of the most brilliant civilization, are the common heritage of the people all over the world.

Leaving the Museum, a bus took us to today's Hotel sofitel Hotel, although prior has checked in online sofitel Hotel is a five-star hotel, but the car

Has row nearly half an hour, created through the karnak Temple (the Temple of karnak luxor suburbs are), but still walking around in the farmlands, the slightest trace of a large hotel, they are mutter, whether you want to sleep tonight in farmland, one car one corner, the hotel is just before eyes.

This is a super luxurious hotel, see it, people recall always the CSI "title a mere formality lens in the play of architecture in the desert of room on the roof-Las Vegas, Sofitel hotel also gives us the feeling that the hotel is typical of North Africa Moore-building, second floor of the Villa, room twin internal Central above roof of the arc, low sofas, copper basin-short Cabinet and hotels of all kinds of sports and entertainment facilities, the garden is the tall palm trees, the dark is Spotlight map have illuminated temperature swimming pool, the next morning also found the hotel close to the nile River, the original or for passengers travelling to, remember that one night price is RMB 400le, 600 kg, and exceptional value.
