5-27 Shanghai-Doha-Cairo

By Qatar Airways 27 morning 0: 50 depart from Pudong airport, 5: 50 local time, arrived at Doha, will have to wait for 7 hours ride 13 points in the plane to Cairo.

Doha time 5 hours later than China, and Egypt. Doha airport duty free shop big, cosmetics, girls are pretty good. Very nice, the price of gold. Due to the turnaround time for waiting more than 5 hours, so you can rely on Qatar Airways boarding pass in the Terminal Hall Food Court on the second floor leads a free meal. On the afternoon of 4: 30 arrive in Cairo. In the airport customs before, with a row of Foreign Exchange stores remember change Egypt pounds, remind your money people will give you some change, on the day of the exchange rate is 1 dollar 5.61 Egypt LE. Cairo airport very worn, I feel like domestic long-distance bus station, did not bother to find a taxi because some good Havana hotel free pick-up at the airport. Cairo airport from downtown has considerable distance and Cairo road conditions are poor, an hour is a good idea to reserve. Cairo has no traffic lights, no matter how large the road, the vehicles can be easily stopped. Good 4 car road, seven vertical eight random stop simply for you out of three, person, donkeys, horses, motorcycle, donkey cart, the cart, the car all Chung at the final root driveway, think not plugging, difficult people drive in Cairo! is free, feel free to get on the road, turn, reverse, so that you won't find a car without scars. Cairo overall a bit like a county town, just a car.

Havana Hotel facilities are available, with similar domestic Jinjiang Inn, room clean, price, triple room to 80 dollars a night.

And arrives, we know that the hotel is located in the area, leaving the Luo JISA centre distance of half an hour by car, visit the pyramids and the train station take the Sleeping to JISA Training very convenient. Reached Havana, immediately after the call to Ahmed. Ahmed, we travel in Thailand when one is encountered on their honeymoon in Egypt brothers, very hospitable warmth in the domestic, small K and his touch, please his purchase sLeeping train train ticket. Originally an appointment 6 point hotel, such as a missing person, think of Egypt's sense of time, please call reminding him we arrived. A etc. to near 10 o'clock, just wait until the scaring and his fat lot's wife. See our sleeping train ticket, a little crazy. The train is a handwritten receipts, can see the departure date, time, where to go, but the train, car, beds number is completely gone. Accept ticket, Ahmed brother with his 70 's little broken car with our tour of Cairo. Ahmed's high horse, a few meters, width 9 outstretched, lumbar round shoes have 50 yards, in comparison, his small broken car on the special grievance, in particular, he sat in the driver's seat, the seat you want to move back a lot, or stuffed in the back seat of a small, K can only wanted his leg curled in the seat. 10 p.m. more Cairo, road congestion, better than daytime. As the plane didn't have a good rest, plus the time still not the other way around, I and small k ran eye Khalili market and a mosque on location, and returned to the hotel to sleep.

Waiting for Ahmed, we inquire with the hotel reception has a minibus to JISA Giza, Memphis Memphis and Vaux Dahshur price.

Taking into account the condition of the hotel is good, very good air conditioning. Therefore, three locations and finally sent us to the train station, a total of 250LE JISA. This price is a bit expensive, but consider and hotel speak well, generally did not occur again, or pay the money. Before you call the donkey Museum in heard of Zhenyu company, as a condition of the price difference is 150-180LE taxi, car condition better private parking space, just embarrassed 200LE trouble Zhenyu help us cars, because we don't live donkey Museum, there is no sense in trouble.

28 may, Giza, Cairo JISA Memphis Memphis and Vaux Dahshur, Sleeping at night Train to Aswan

Havana's breakfast good, Egypt famous bread, lettuce salad, various Horn bag, and potatoes, sausages, fried eggs, beverages, etc.

Also do not think that morning, and later learned, in Egypt eat green leafy vegetables like it's not easy. While having breakfast on one side and drivers to meet us. Experience again to Egypt's sense of time is very poor, say, 15 minutes, but wait until 8: 45, still see figure; and then push that 3 minutes. Anyway, 9 points, we finally set off.

Giza fares are: zone ticket (including hufu and Hough, pyramids, Sphinx, door card UL temporarily) adult 60 30 LE LE, student ISIC card, you can use. Drill pyramid, in addition to buy tickets, hufu 100LE/50LE, Hough la LE 30/15.

Far see Khufu is still very shocking, complex feelings can be described with mixed feelings, mental activity below 200 words are omitted.

Egypt businessmen, someone will let you to take pictures, then please do not refuse, or for money is going. If there is no need for any one here to chat of Egypt, and even free delivery of gifts, etc. are ignored, polite response is not required. I met a camel merchants of Egypt, motioned to me to take pictures with him, I said to him, nor a dime. They said that money doesn't matter, free and he photographed. That took, people say, camel, Halo die!, no money is money, and put the photos deleted, anger at his resignation. It is such, that no money is money, even if the money will not give, do not encourage their irresponsibility.

Pyramid is can climb, Khufu's entrance is very close to the ground, people in and out like ants.

Want to save money and people don't have to drill here, up to the pyramid Vaux's Red Pyramid free drill, go there. Not drill pyramid, climb up as a phase is missed, blue sky, golden sand, the ancient pyramids, profound artistic conception.

Hough, pyramid, obvious people less gas, not far from next to the Tower has a mound of Earth, in fact, entered the look is a fallen out of the temple or pyramid.

Where row row styling, Pats photos is pretty good.

Leave Hough, pyramid, be sure to let the driver a deep desert place 3 big pyramids and its subsidiary of all small pyramids.

But want to take clear pictures, I'm afraid you need a high ratio zoom lens.

Walk into the Sphinx is needed in front of the temple and the inspection of tickets, through the student card, you can and Sphynx for more intimate contact, within short distance of 10 meters.

The noon sun exposure, scarf became the best sunscreen, able to bring its wrap only expose the passerby, dark glasses. Arabs to wear the robe is justified, ventilation and solar.

The famous Pizza Hut and KFC left Sphynx, at noon, you can get in the way avoiding summer resort, fill belly.

Drivers carrying us to a he recommended hotels. Packages per capita 35LE, salad, main meals, drinks and ice cream, the price is fair. Restaurant visitors, estimates are drivers, and visitors will need to pay money, the driver is free.

Afternoon first went up to Vaux.

Tickets 30/15LE, extra 2 LE parking fee. Bent pyramid is not open, open the Red Pyramid, the tourists are few and far between. Red Pyramid looks is not red, black. Entrance off the ground quite a distance, also took up the trail. Face hit two just climb down female foreigners, sweating, panting complaining that there's the smell, then warm to put their hands clinched has black out towelettes gave us that can prevent smelly. Very polite to decline their offer, and to see our equipment, masks and a packet of wet tissue that makes people envy.

The entrance to the pyramid is a hole, consists of a dark look at the old Egypt

, Sucre, are made of wood to the plane, a bit like slide, just plane every step of the distance nail Singletree anti-skid. Channel is very low and need knees sat down and climb down, hands go to seize handrail, flashlight is completely sent not handy, headlight also almost always rub in the knapsack. smallpox There is no light on the channel, the lowest of the tomb was in a light guide us forward. Farther down the sulfur smell in the air of the heavier the mask cannot block, so a picture inside, wipes, fragrant smell or make people happy. Climb up to the end, enter an empty tomb. Approximately 5 metres wide, 10 m, 20 m high. Stone stacks up in the middle of the pyramid, turned out to be empty, magical, not particularly praise the wisdom of ancient Egypt people. Tao sister rush in a tomb in the Pocket, then turned to go, said to breathe. Indeed, apart from sulfur smell to it, a bit stuffy, still can endure, so careful observation of the structure of the tomb of cross section shown in figure. At the end of the stone room is another channel, cat see also lumbar through a stone room, shape, size and exactly the same as the previous one, except that it's the end of a line of wooden staircase up to the heights, the discovery climb is the gateway to the third's channel. This channel in the third stone room, looked up and the air is people leading, looking at the bottom is scattered to numerous big stones, and the air turbidity, depression, sulfur smell is increasingly concentrated. Along with regard to climb out of the pyramid, discover small K never went to the stone room, she encountered half were hastily withdrew from the Tao sister, along with the escape.

Bent pyramid not open, on the way to the left only far took photos, just like a peach.

Memphis leave up to Vaux only 20 minutes away, 40/20 LE tickets.

Memphis Museum half horizontal indoor open, lay a Rameses II giant stone, this statue in Egypt and many places to see the statue of knee following section disappeared. Pharaoh Wang like waist cloth generally use pictographs carved the name of the Pharaohs, we also install touch for study in the sample for a long time. Outdoor set stone group, one of the most interesting is a small red Sphinx, beard, but is warped. Description of the statue is in the production of the Pharaohs, after the death of Amenhotep III, is said to be.

Want to catch a train, there is no direct to the Sakala, back to the hotel with the luggage.

The way to the hotel next to the Metro supermarket to buy some water and exchanged it for a change. Sleeping Training is the best train Egypt, we are at the famous Orient Express is bent on riding. The train departs 8 points, about the drivers pick 6: 30. Wait until the 6 point 40 also see figure and ask the front desk. Get answers to collapse, he said, taking into account the train will dig Egypt, afraid we train station waiting for too long, so deliberately let drivers was late coming to meet us. At that time found it unreasonable that they later discovered and sure enough, the reality is that the locals than we know. In the press, 7 points out. No more distance blocking more than half an hour before arrival. Burst into the JISA railway station, found then think how broken the station cannot be overemphasized. No waiting Hall, through the ticket office is platform, two open platform in the middle are two tracks, one to one, not a Chair, and other vehicles are poured on the platform. No hint information (there may be, but no one understand), so I often go to administrator there asks, did we get in the car. Every train station, on the platform are a mess, carrying large packages on small Pack to get busy ask each other, also in the train behind running when you jump on the bus. Has 9 points, the car didn't point it's meant to stand still, everyone is a butt sit on the floor. A pair of dress elegant European couples and station managers was tensions of noisy, I put it in the past a couple of Sleeping in his hand Training tickets than our, we managed to have a printed envelopes, they simply is in a corner of the tear of the newspaper pieces just write a few words, nor even in English, the wife pointed to Arabic ۸ ۴ used almost cry out voice said to me, "they say this is 84 time train," and my heart went out to look at her, she said "Yes" … 9: 40, the car finally came. Known as the most luxurious of Egypt on the Orient Express appearance than China's green leather train, walked in, fairly clean and tidy. Two people in a small package, the space is very small, up and down two beds. Covered when not in turn up on the wall, like a piece of Changsha beds. Opposite the bed is a small wash station, a fountain and mirror, balcony, bathroom inside without going to the toilet to go to the ends of public toilet compartments. Train attendants subsequently sent to dinner, dinner costs included in the ticket, the beverage to pay, a small cup of black tea to 3LE, members or by train from below the water. Dinner from, the waiter will ask you to go to bed, and then, like magic, from the wall over a piece of the lower bunk bed, sofa and also turned into a bed, then drag out from under the bed a small ladder on the floor. Car bed quite comfortable, quilt cover, not too cold. A good night sleep
