Section 09 chapter journey: Eastern Mediterranean and Alexander (top)

Back to Cairo (November 22)

The evening was a good night sleep to come.

This day trip very easily.

The morning was in bed, mushroom and half-day, and the paper before you buy a sedge draw a one up at half past ten to leisurely enjoy, came to the hotel lobby. 11 points, each person received a paper lunch box (noon to eat on the bus) on the bus. Today we cross the eastern desert back to Cairo — the estimated 7 to 8 hours of travel.

Off the map, our bus will be all the way along the Red Sea to the North of the West Bank, at a distance of approximately 60 kilometers of Suez road fork instead to the West until the Cairo.

This particular journey than from Luxor to Hurghada longer than two hours; in Egypt in the highest grade of Highway speed limit is 90 km, which means that the distance is about 600 km; it was a long trip! in self-help manual seen from Hurghada to Cairo with aircraft, approximately 40 minutes duration in accordance with the domestic fare estimate, we believe that each person will not exceed US $ 100. In fact, to Egypt to play some, in relation to everyone (at least for XX and ZZ) really don't care about more than 200 dollars fly out.

Imagine: will this trip to Cairo, the plane arrived in the morning, starting 8 am, 9 am to 10 points will be admitted to the hotel in Cairo.

Then go to Saladin see Muhammad mosque, see City of death, it is a good idea for Khan Hariri market, even at its own expense, to see the trapezium pyramids Sakala or go to Memphis village at Rameses II statue, the evening can bubble Cafe, Egypt is pumping smoke. That the number of praise!

But these are just imaginary 22 November trip, we still can only hold paper dinner box bus, the bus on the day.

And when, the car still composed of a collection in one place, before and after a police convoy escort.

Along the way, our cars have been along the Red Sea coast to the North. Here's a very strange, the coastline is the azure blue sea on one side and the desert, desert and so have been pouring into the sea to become the ultimate access to the Sea Beach. In the most narrow straits, can clearly see the other side of the Sinai Peninsula. Beginning XX think you only see the Islands in the sea, in the back country after careful inspection, party found information on the Sinai Peninsula and the continent between the Red Sea Strait called Suez. Suez 200 km long, average width of the narrowest 29 km, 10 km, at the deficiencies in the sunny weather of vision can be seen from the West coast of the Red Sea on the other side of the Sinai Peninsula.

3 200 years ago, Jews in Egypt to withstand long slavery and persecution, persecution of the very period is considered a new Kingdom in Egypt Rameses II, Chris s, in the old testament of the out of Egypt "the inside" Lanser "Pharaoh forced Israel to do hard labour for his construction of the temple," Lanser "is" Raamses "transliterated.

At Rameses II had died, his son Lamoni Gupta (Merenptah) throne when he was an old man (as Rameses II live a long time), the States considerably weakened, the control of the territories continue to occur. Then came the oppressed people of Israel from slavery situation ripe, and Moses and Aaron in this great opportunity, after a difficult struggle and lead the people enslaved Israel out of Egypt.

If Moses and Aaron to face this Pharaoh Egypt was Lamoni Gupta, generally considered the Egypt of the Pharaohs in this medium, that is ruled by the equivalent of 1220 years BC.

Due to this years, Israel from Egypt of Rameses, marching to the Palestinians. Israel out of Egypt's line, according to geographic location, from Egypt into Palestine, recent route is along the Eastern Mediterranean coast to the North. It is said that this route is short, but there are Egypt along the garrisons and difficult to pass, so out of Egypt in Israel people prefer bypass southbound along the Sinai Peninsula southward. People who entered Israel Bible that was written before the Sinai Peninsula, the Red Sea has been crossed out of Egypt "says Egypt Pharaoh's present in Israel who crossed the sea, all drowned in the sea.

This famous historical event that happened on our passing this piece of Bay.

About Moses really through the Red Sea reaches across the Sinai Peninsula, academia endlessly said actually legend; can be said of the Red Sea Harbour having a blue sea bed is high tide when almost fell in the past, and even claimed to have found in the harbour of chariot remains 3000 years ago.

But when we are here today in the car, saw the sight of the Sinai Peninsula, where XX is the private view should be adopted.

First of all, the formation of the Red Sea between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula is still the two plates drift and separated from each other. Now the Red Sea is over 300 years ago. After a scientific survey, the Red Sea is continuing its expansion rate of separation, as per year-1.5 cm, Arabian Peninsula is to squeeze the speed to Asia. If a previous earthquake happened here, then the expansion speed may also be faster. This means that time of the Red Sea's Gulf of Suez even more narrow than now, even the swimming also can swim. Second, as long as the ocean will have tides, does not exclude the sea or at low tide you can reveal the surface of the sea-bed so that Moses could lead to two million people in Israel through the Suez reaches across the Sinai Peninsula. Third, a book documenting Egypt chasing when soldiers to be swallowed up by the sea; in fact the tide change particularly large is also the largest geological plate change, maybe then just happens earthquake, the tide was suddenly become particularly rough, fate, saved the people of Israel out of Egypt, creating such a legend.

In short, XX more willing to believe in what this reasoning.

However in this 200 km

Long edge of the Gulf of Suez coastline, from where Moses is launched, it is not known.

Our fleet of vehicles along the highway in the desert shore and shore road, from time to time with our line of sight is a trans-North and South of the black channel.

Pipes with a diameter of about six meters, each sectional pipe with white paint order graffiti a four-digit number, using digits instead of Arabic digits. The perspective from the text it is an international cooperation project (because Egypt in the territory of the local community facilities of figures like using Arabic numbers, the English General), as regards the pipe end with what is not clear. Online access to information, most information is one of the 2006 Red Sea to the dead sea from the "dead sea rescue" project, maybe this is the water pipe. However exposed at Sandy Lane looks is odd, or oil pipelines.

We're halfway twice, because there will be no more opportunities in Cairo shopping downtown, we rest station shops to stroll, hope to win some souvenirs.

Although rest stop shop a lot, but something insurgents. Our loot is:

Date palm.

We at Hurghada hotel's buffet restaurant to eat often can have a "fruit", type as large olives, color Crimson, this is the date palm. Palm is the most common fruits of annual Muslim Arab families before and after each of the food. In Egypt can be seen everywhere, coconut-tree in the Nile River is a lot; but when we all know, thought it was Coco! (no water long what leaves, so no culture) approached a look feel strange, "CoCo" not long coconut, long jujube! previously let's China and third world countries and friendly relations with over Cuba when imported sugar and Iraq dates, the Iraq dates are dates. Dates of the high sugar content, plus Egypt are particularly fond of eating sweet (Egypt, one of the major crops are sugar cane), so the dates in the month of Ramadan is Egypt's rations. Dates when the students are very astringent, Nana guide said, like ripe persimmon, after seizing feeling less, Egypt will also generally preserved fruits to dry food that can be used. rations The Palm is rich in the country, people for the Palm and coconut palm-tree and wrote numerous poems and prose, "the term to learn dates not coconut, tall; vote by vengeful pebbles, reported by jiaguo" and Chinese writing "lovesick SI party do" almost meant.

Egypt tenor of the CD.

In all the rest station has the video shop, has the CD Egypt pop King. Naturally we are going to buy Amr Diab CD myself. But rest stop selling all kind of collection, it seems not to have seen the album. XX tries to guess and Nana tours explain the want to buy some latest Amr Diab's Album, but to the kind of or collection. However, make do, we hear the songs on the way inside.

Nearly eight hours of walk, sleeping King XX in turn bread pancakes sleep countless times, the car at night after entering the city of Cairo.

A enter the obvious signs of Cairo is the traffic jam, then a call blocking, and Beijing rush makes no difference. The difference is Cairo people looks nothing worry that folkway clearly and well.

To Cairo, Nana tour led us to the flavor shop.

Before coming to Egypt, XX of friends is in greasy displeasure told XX take some Lotus flavor flavor comes back, she did not buy, very sorry. It is said that the excavation of sakaltutan scammon cemetery, just open the door of the Tomb, they smell a faint aroma, originally from sakaltutan scammon unctuous perfume bottle in. Three thousand years ago, FL. reserve in tomb still Ah ~ ~ ~ from existing artifacts and documents of the record, the ancient Egypt's earliest Oriental refinement can be traced back to 4000 BC. In terms of religious or secular life, flavor has played a pivotal position, mainly used for worship gods, or used to make a mummy, make people die and not rot, for eternal life. Since that time has not yet been invented refining high purity alcohol, so this perfume accurately, it should be called sesame oil.

Although the culture of ancient Egypt to nowadays in fact have been interrupted, but the flavor was yimaixiangchuan, counting the Millennium without failure.

3 century b.c. history of ancient Egypt, popular science after the end of the Mission of Christians on the continuation in the flavor culture, the Bible records · the old testament, when Moses from ancient Egypt to return from exile, God commands he presented olive and perfume made of Saint oil — is essential. So far, Egypt Coptic Church of senior clergy remained to personally provisioning for as Saint oil use, and then move them rollout in small bottle, sent to Egypt and the world of the Coptic Church. Year 6 century the Arabs into Egypt, facing the enchanting scents, even against the hedonism of Muslims can't resist, production and use of flavor became Islamic culture specific manifestations. Thus, the flavor culture both belong to the Pharaoh of Egypt, belonging to the Christian, Egypt also belong to the Islamic Egypt. Flavor is regarded as the symbol of pure pleasure, not only a religious ceremony must also Egypt all segments of society for clean air, soft skin, treatment of diseases of daily necessity. Bovine Ah ~ ~ ~

The car to the flavor, Nana doorway to all male members of the tour guides are alight, mysterious and female members were introduced to some of the flavor — the hidden message behind one and say — speaking of facial expressions in crazy: "used after a ~ ~ thanks ~ ~ Fu ~ ~" (should be "very xingfu" bar ... ...

), Everyone wants to Nana not married Mody ... ...

Flavor is beautifully decorated restaurant, placed around a variety of styles of flavor bottle, entrance there is a glass Cabinet, inside pressure around the world from pen and paper, may wish to display this dianke to cloud.

A mouth speaking Chinese prehistoric shop assistants to take us to a flavor distillation equipment before we explain the essence of the refining process. After the presentation, and let us into the room in listening to his explanations. When they sit down, big handsome Center sitting Lotus mouth, shattering; an Assistant with his explanation, quickly and accurately remove corresponding flavorAnd scribble on everyone's hands or fingers, for the identification and appreciation; and another man had quietly offer hospitality of Egypt black tea.

Big handsome boy first introduced that, despite claims to France who have restored secrets of Pharaoh perfume and depicts the ancient Egypt perfume smell, but the fact of Egypt's per year Salmon flavor in around 70% of all exports to France because Chanel, poisons, CD and other world famous France perfume mostly are these flavors coupled with alcohol, according to the ratio of 1: 9 "blend" or "Ligand Exchange".

In order to confirm these assertions are not virtual, handsome guy took a small bottle of perfume, France will be lighted cigarette lighters placed vents, finger movement, immediately flame masterpiece; it will light the match in Egypt, but the essence bottle is without sound. Flavor in the air is heated, spread to every corner of the room so that people are turned in the aroma. Concluded that the natural taste of Egypt flavor is more genuine, more durable, it is even more "authentic". At this point XX has been calculated, then buy a 50 ml, not be a great sauce on blending bottles perfume Ah ~ ~ ~

The next big handsome guy let Assistant sent us a copy of every person to a directory of Chinese printing flavor.

In his introduction, most of the flavor made with flowers, but not with flowers made of sandalwood essence, say nothing; but according to the flavor of the production method and odour type, can be divided into single flavor and mixed flavor, functions of their own. In a single flavor, including Lotus Flower, rose, narcissus, lavender, jasmine, mint, gardenia, Lily, flower. This pure, natural flavors and smells, actions such as function of clear water, dignified as oil, its delicate flavour and aroma are vastly different to the exact measure, nor fully mimic. Can be used alone, it is the foundation of mixed flavor, Egypt national annual output but dozens kilograms, which is very expensive to raspberry, Egypt local people's affection.

But mixed flavor the flavor Division will be different from flavor with dollar together, ranging from thousands of years of cultural inheritance, FL. master their improvisation, full of strong national and regional culture.

They put their own modulation of flavor with a variety of Egypt named background. Handsome guy, the "sakaltutan scammon" after blending is equivalent to the "United States perfume CK", "after" Egypt gaudily after blending is France's "CD", called "the key of life" after blending is the "men's Polo," the ", Phil mention the Queen" is "Ya Shi LAN Dai," and "the five secrets" is France's "Chanel No. 5," ...

In order to make the business shop man patiently will place the various flavors and clean in our hands and fingers.

ZZ is the day of the nose without ventilation, but when the handsome open a bottle of mint flavor, to a large glass of tap water drips, the room had a smell of Mint, handsome hint towards to the Cup to ZZ, strong Mint as snuff as much almost choked the ZZ turned in someones face, nose immediately ventilation!

Rounds down, our nose for aesthetic fatigue and lost identification capability, so have the clerk gave us delivering a bottle of coffee powder, coffee powder smell what a cleanup effects of nasal cavity.

This prehistoric start huyou into orgasm, he said there are three kinds of Egypt flavor is not allowed to export of the Lotus (Egypt national flower), the second is the Arabian Nights (also known as desert storm, men's viagra), the third is the secret of the desert (female viagra). Speaking to this festival is also called "the US" who came up with Arafat in his presentation, the first lady in a desert of secret to flavor point in three places, breasts and below; then introduces the men with Arabian nights when the flavor point in five, the breasts, the following point three, then turned and asked "Arafat": you have three below? "Arafat had a pretense opened the trousers" counted back to he nodded. Handsome guy and his hands stretched: "OK! points in this five formidable, men will, like the Arabian horse General ~ ~ ~" Our Lady "Arafat" at the back of the horse as "hui hui" Yang hoof, everyone smiles down a tablet.

Finally, finally to focus, handsome guy showing off their goods, the base price of us $ 1 per ml refill into large (150ml), medium (80ml), small (50ml) three specifications, buy three presented a, also with different specifications of flavor bottle.

XX is running a flavor to it, so a fall guy voice immediately and ZZ together chose Lotus, Lily, sandalwood, lavender.

To say that flavor shop handsome were really well trained and organized properly, and business skills, our China travel service organizations must take to learn! in record perfume name XX write "Issey", she forgot the words, "home" can't write, prehistoric generous, she wrote, a revered XX!

7 p.m., we came to a House called "the circle" in the restaurant.

In addition to the first day in Egypt and the admission of that Chinese Highlands, this is in Egypt to our second meal lunch. So we taste, although the cuisine even higher than in the "Tang" JISA restaurant worse, directly on the white fried cauliflower, tomato and egg soup and the like, we still had fun.

After lunch our bus back into the city to a halt in a hotel.

Hotel outside look OK, there lived handyman, this is way down the line. In the lobby check in, ZZ ran to the hotel of the store to buy a stamp to send our second postcard (front there is a sheet is on the Nile cruise on outgoing), for a while back that shop selling stamps is a rich aunt, know that we are very pleased that her name was self introduction Pyramid (pyramid)!

Check-in after you know the hotel really insurgents.

The bathroom is in General, the level of domestic Express Hotel, the room facilities are very poor, according to the country to see which two star, or is the county seat of three stars. The difference is the roof put up arrows, lying in bed watching time haven't guess is what stuff, thought it was good to put luggage label roof?The next day, Nana Guide to know the direction the arrow is pointing to the Mecca, convenient hotel accommodation to find the Holy City direction prayer drop ~ ~ ~

Wash washed after swiping the sleep has more than 10 points (second day to 5 points).

Night and experience a bit shabby, and the walls of the hotel is just like a normal paper paste. Night two, three and a group of tourists, the voice of the uproar. Even Super sleepy XX all heard the ~ ~ ~
