Egypt tour 5/8 (5)

5.6 Memphis Sakala & Hariri-farewell to Egypt

From Cairo to Memphis only 20 km.

Memphis, starting from the 1100 BC 3100 years ago is the oldest capital city of Egypt, transposition and up to 800 years. It is said that three thousand years BC to Pharaoh m (nice) was built, called the "White City", later renamed Memphis.

As the ancient Empire (b. 27 and former 22 century) of the capital city.

Two thousand years b.c. to Thebes, but Egypt religious, cultural city. Seventh century destroyed. At that time, is the world's most magnificent great city, now leaving a Mini Museum and garden in dilapidated stone for disuse. But there is a statue of a giant of Rameses II dilapidated statue, because the statue is leg damage, so that the whole statue cannot stand, so he can only lay there, even if they're lying, he still was a respected giant.

In the afternoon, we continue to drive to the nearby Sakala, there is the world's most ancient pyramid-stepped pyramid.

It is the embryo of Egypt Pyramids.

Here is the multiple pyramids and temples of buildings, stepped pyramid is one of the most famous and one of the best preserved relative.

Step Pyramid of the master, the third dynasty of ancient Egypt King left, Sergio, was built in the year 2700 BC, earlier than the Khufu 100 years or so, earliest pyramids of Egypt, which is also the world's oldest built tomb stones.

Was responsible for the design of the Prime Minister Efraim Hua Tai-Bo, he even left the King there name. Sergio

The Prime Minister to leave for workers in the construction of the base on the ground, then cut into a block of stone, in the original grave based on small mound and a heightening of layering limestone decorative appearance. Last total heap of six layers, a ladder Tower. Main tomb is deep, there lay the King left, Sergio and his five family members. Stepped pyramid still enjoy the temple and the temple ruins, the distance you can see the famous Khufu.

In the last leg of Egypt is Cairo's Hariri market.

Market is not very big, very intensive retailers, many small traders can speak some Chinese. And their bargaining power is really tired, so we have a lot of want to buy do not buy, some regrettable. However, the market is experiencing a speak Chinese man, and he spoke in a very pleasant, so we all purchased articles are in his shop close, language, cannot be neglected ~ ~ ~

In Hariri market procurement, ate dinner, we must leave for the airport.

For Egypt, although you are not willing to say goodbye, but separate moments inevitably coming. In the streets of Cairo, and we all left a shadow.

(Cairo street)

Goodbye, Egypt.

Goodbye, Cairo.

Like the sentence read thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles.

Remember Yu in bitter cultural journey wrote in the preface of "any real civilization will consciously or unconsciously psychologically led a variety of age overlap of life, not this overlap, life will lose elasticity, it is easy to air dry and brittle fracture.

”

I think such overlap not just from a few books can be and often are able to give people the impression or deeply personal feelings.

Only from the actual barriers in going out and into a more far-reaching space, to feel the history of river flows in you feet when the voice, you will be able to to a overlap with this deep awareness.

Egypt is not like I do a cursory shallow visitors through several days of travel we will be able to understand the true meaning to it.

But this ancient civilization can make me feel even more profound Chinese civilization, before it can only be mortified. The ancient civilizations of Egypt, let the whole world of mankind the proud.

In the Sahara desert, in the tender of the Nile, Egypt's Museum, in the Canal's temple, in front of the pyramids, through five thousand years of spatio-temporal tunnel, I'm dreamy.

How would like to explore how to get to refresh, the historic progress; everything is close at hand, infinite distant; everything in sight, mist mystery!

Don't trip Ah, great Egypt!

Now in Cairo, the area is very large, densely populated, the city's architecture also has a lot of old, but it makes me feel warm.

Like its intensive, like its inclusion, like its enthusiasm. Pharaonic times have passed, leaving future generations is the long history of outsiders, but they are still able to keep this piece of history, watching over this land of Pharaoh, it is sufficient. Now people of Egypt is also very simple, I like them.

Travel in, left many regrets.

Egypt: Nile water to drink, and be sure it will come back again.

Maybe not so easy to go over again, but now that drink the water of the Nile, and I should go.

Next time, I will bring more friends and loved ones.

Go to Egypt trip down when time is tight, so only with the group.

Although this is my least favorite a way to travel.

Tours of quirky strange indeed make our trip happy hit some discounts, therefore, for these people, to forgive them unreasonable and foolish, I think it should be condemned.

In Egypt, our Chinese tour guide is a Chinese fluently in Egypt a handsome guy, for tours most of them are very considerate care.

However, when we left Egypt back in China, the Beijing airport, but someone told me that they are going to complain that the Guide, and our signature. When I asked why, they can't find a reason why, so I refused to sign.

For some people, I really would like to ask,

When you are in another country restaurant noise when ever they have affected other people's emotional eating?

In you only consider yourself if you eat eat good, don't think it ever other members whether or not to eat eat well?

In you to meet your requirements at any time, stop time, if ever there is a car is sick members of the urgent need to return to the hotel to rest right away?

In your irrational and rude to ask for the Guide's treat, ever so confidently to others pay it appropriate?

When you are in the car shouted flirting with each other, whether or not to think about other people in the team needs a rest?

You cared whether in your own expense, at the time, why not read others in advance of travel, prior to hear others saying?

In your loud jokes other countries when ever you own country so perfect so rich?

The Chinese really embarrassing.

I'm such a shame people.

Our quality trivialization, had to be "tragic" Ah ... ...
