Egypt's first station: Cairo

We arrived in Egypt in the afternoon, the capital of Cairo.

And the "world city" and disproportionate is Cairo airport environment, feel free to find a home in the second and third line cities are not less favourable than it. Egypt is very interesting, each travel agent special pick-up represents, as long as the aircraft you find pick-up represents basically anything without your team leader, he is all for you. Arabic writing very interesting, I think represents for our complete when all the material entering the vertical writing. I wonder how not to tour guides, then understand that the social status of Egypt tour is very high, particularly understand Chinese tour guide. Oh, just like a rare species, like the pick up this simple labor, to the Assistant on OK, I suddenly felt like stars Egypt Chinese tour guide, with Assistant

The officers of the movement slowly like the Australian Koala.

Egypt has more than 90 per cent are devout Muslim Arabs and Arab work style is no lazy, not punctual. Just arrived at the airport, we'll learn a lot. Follow our pick-up represents a few door, smooth out of the airport, to the car park. Just got on the coach, and was told that in order to guarantee that our security and reflect on our attention, ready to find a car for driving, waiting, because as you can, let us direct to hotel Hotel.

Bus powered, printed in front of a typical African Earth, raw, desolate, vast, vehicles driving around the dusty, warm air mixed with the Earth's atmosphere.

"Egypt people live a thousand years have never changed the life of the desert." In the prehistoric civilization disappears, Egypt people seem to sleep a hundred years, lagging pace of world civilization. Just sight the locals wearing robes the color of a single, men's wrapped headband, Ms. headbands, it seems that there is no display of movements of desires and requirements of people gathered in the street vendors or baiditan, aimlessly stood, eyes very vague.

In the restaurant we saw, our cow B of Egypt tourist guide, the Arab name Expatica · de su Qi (I do not know, is not so much reading, HA HA ~), but interesting Chinese name, called Tian Liang.

He said it is with you that world diving champions have the same name. Tian Liang is a native of Egypt, and with the heart in terms I think it's a really nice guy, but it is said that Egypt is Egypt's ACE Chinese tour guide. This person was Cairo University Department of Chinese language instructors, the teacher is now Egypt's Ambassador to China, Chinese say quite good and a good sense of humor, has received many celebrities, such as State Councillor Tang Jiaxuan People's Republic of China, Defence Minister, etc.

The first day, in accordance with the travel arrangements for travel, we will visit Egypt National Museum and the famous Giza.

In the open way to Egypt Museum, you can enjoy the city of Cairo.

A few blocks of a decent House, dwelling is Plaints, the appearance of all the houses are "embrg", although already in use, but has not been painted walls, brick and tile clearly exposed, just paint the front of the House, which has a very worthy audience. This guide explained that the Government of Egypt, house building to pay after the fix, and not wipe exterior description House is uncompleted, do not have to pay tax. Interesting!

Street car is broken, there is a completely with Cuba.

Cairo say the world's largest car-19 million population has 5 million cars, this is because there is no forced Egypt vehicle scrapped. Then an old car or you can go, as long as you can, therefore, used car, or even three wooden handcart "18" is very common, the price is very cheap. So the streets of Egypt is auto, Horn everywhere DIN day, the traffic is extremely bad, drivers see car Super, see joints on drilling, pedestrians are unscrupulous, in traffic wear to wear to the cross, we are getting scared. Street trash around, did not see any cleaners cleaning, it is difficult to imagine being one of the seven cities of the world as the Cairo is so "down".

Benefit from Chairman Mao was the foreign policy and the Arab world to the Chinese people are very friendly.

Egypt people for us it was very warm and saw those of us from the third world's brother, the warm greeting with us. Hello, after another ... China in Egypt are influential! we said Tian Liang, Egypt people regard China as best friends, followed by France. But their greatest hatred is "evil" and the "ass-United States of Israel". Obviously, since the Chinese goodwill and trust, he is not in the US withholding such sentiments, several-day tours in many times and we talked about the United States. But also we introduced a lot of Egypt's customs.

Egypt men can marry up to four wives, it is legitimate.

But each wife has to have their own House, and married a huge overhead, civilians are generally separated for several years in order to marry a second, third. There are rich people marry four at a time, then out to scenery, a man behind with four young PLMM, HA HA, Egypt is a man's heaven! but Egypt's women took to the streets to wrap the passerby, I see the most exaggerated is a black armbands, only exposing the two eyes. So you want to follow behind four MM, it can be scary to blame.

Egypt 5000 years old civilizations can be roughly divided into three phases, pharaonic 3000 years, Greece, Rome and one thousand years, the Arabs, a thousand years.

Among these, pharaonic civilization is undoubtedly the most fascinating, ancient civilizations of Egypt remains the overwhelming majority are they left behind. The desert heat and dryness is Egypt has a unique natural conditions, save down so many monuments and relics. Egypt, is truly the land of ancient civilizations.

Not long before it was long known of Egypt Fu of the National Museum, the Museum collection of the world's oldest artifacts include ancient Egypt 5000 years of history.

Here every day reception with thousands of visitors, but 9 a.m. or so, the Museum has lined long long ticket service. Just managed to, but also through the security check in order toThrough the door, finally entered the door, into the Museum's main building lobby has a second layer of security. Check the camera this time, unfortunately, the Museum does not allow to enter with your camera, you can even take pictures of the mobile phone has just been reluctantly left off. Cairo museums, apart from security facilities, everything is very modern.

The Museum is very large, from the first floor's most ancient sarcophagus, try look for veneration touch pictographs on the stone.

If oil painting "Mona Lisa Smile" is the France Louvre treasure of the town Palace, sakaltutan scammon's Golden mask is Egypt's National Museum of fragrance.

This mask is set in sakaltutan scammon's Mummy head. Pure gold, with a variety of exotic materials reproduction of masks, sakaltutan card Monte Young handsome face. Gold build out of lines and soft, not ignoring a detail of the eyelids, lips, hair color, still fresh. I can't use other language to describe, in addition to the "bright". Gold, precious stones, glittering; entranced. These are from the Imperial Valley, his tomb excavated, and transferred to the Museum. Each piece is so finely crafted. Small to necklace beads, gold chips.

The Tomb in 1922, was discovered by another tomb of ruins.

Is the most valuable, because no looters patronize. The nine-year-old reign, the 18-year-old dies, this should be in the history of the unknown young Pharaoh, by virtue of his priceless funerary, finally is well-known all over the world. But then a series of things that this statement is one of the tombs of more because explore the tombs of the participants in the near future is the mystery of the dead, is it the curse of the Pharaoh in the non-not to make people think of the movie "the Mummy Returns, tableaux, horrible!! mouth hummed Jay's love in Christ, or think about good things.

Afternoon we went to Cairo suburb of JISA Highlands, visit the famous pyramids.

Here are known as the seven wonders of the world's great pyramid, the pyramid of Khufu is also called, are high 136 m, base inch 230 meters, the tower by 230 million stone blocks, each stone average weight 2.5 tons, it is said that "the Eternal Egypt people use 10 for 20 years to build the pyramids.

On the way to the entire mipmap pyramid, our coaches from the bridge on the Nile River, the Nile is not passed to imagine or movies in the beautiful, modest, perhaps beautiful place not here, because the River is very long, flowing through a wide area, it is in Egypt, in the territory of 1500 km in length, 6670 km outside North-Eastern Mediterranean, and East to the Red Sea.

Not long before we reach the JISA, mood a bit excited, "pyramid" familiar figure into our sight, Afar, three different sizes of pyramid quietly lying in the Sahara desert, very sunny, cloudless sky, Blue Blue, mast in the sunshine, very bright.

Approaching the point, see visitors camel riding in the desert in Tower side, a bit of a walk near postcard picture composition.

Close-up view of the pyramids is grey coloured, bricks of stacked triangular seen from a plane, from the perspective of stereo is four triangles formed by the party is cone-shaped, brick, stone-brick size is very large.

A close look at bricks stacked not very neat, mixed in the interphase, and the contour of the far-seeing and corners compared to some. But when you go to the front of Khufu, you will feel from the heart, the pyramid is too big to hand!!! reverent touch it. Seemingly ordinary stone, four thousand years ago by God in human?? yet any advanced tools to an understanding of how to move to the desert. Person's life? a hundred and four thousand years how? remember some people say that Egypt is making people forget time. So I think that the pyramid is to let people know the significance of local time.

Pyramid from the outside looks very magnificent, but inside it is not fun.

We visited one of the pyramids, along a narrow, short, long ladder go down, it is a tomb. Tomb very boring, long stay inside hypoxia, because many people do not feel the atmosphere of the ghastly terrorist.

Pyramid side has many Arabs with camel, camel photography business, call: one dollar.

But the guide told us in advance, to camel have to look for him to go to bargain, because these people are very cunning, if you are unable to come in, they'll say that the dollar is up prices, down to ten dollars ...

Then we go to the patron saint of ornamental pyramid — Sphinx Sphinx.

Sphinx Sphinx is next to the pyramid, in front of the three pyramids, "long" 20 metres high and 70 meters long, side look impressive, symbol of strength; "human face" toward the East, facing the Sun, symbol of wisdom. It is said that face is builders face is Egypt's 14th generation Pharaoh, 2500 years ago out of the rock engraving, nose in Napoleon's invasion was destroyed, become like this.

And the pyramids, the Sphinx was fences, you cannot come.

After watching it, we also visit the nearby a small temple. Tian Liang said: Luxor Temple of the Sun than this to hundreds of times, but the small temple's position is very important, and why the original in some years ago, archaeologists dug up here a priceless heritage: "great RAM Francis II" systemic statue. Graham Francis II kempis? ancient Egypt's greatest Pharaoh, 34 wife, 106 children live to a 99-year-old, really strong man also. There is a RAM, and Francis II signed the human history the first peace agreement, and the Sinai Peninsula side very powerful States of Hittite Kingdom national peace accord was signed, if born Nobel for thousands of years earlier, the first Nobel Peace Prize, no doubt non-Graham Francis II is!

We went into the temple, indeed quite small, but to spread the snow Egypt specialties.

Soon we saw a enclosure up big pit, you can see the hole was voted into theMany of the banknotes and coins. Because digging out the RAM Francis II of the statue, people think that the big pit can bring Jiyun, so come inside, investment and money. "However, I have been so many years tour guide, only to see the pit to a person who has had good fortune. "Tian Liang ridicule that handles pointing to the door, we ran down his fingers to see in the midday sun sleepy old janitor. "Every day after sunset, he will be very happy to start counting money ..."

Cairo, one more thing to mention is called authentic Egypt flavor shop.

Shop at the Sphinx, haha, how many dotted aura! flavor is one of Egypt's famous specialities, many of the world famous perfume is used by Egypt flavor with 90% alcohol against. Such as Chanel, Dior, etc of NO.5. Product directory, columns are full and European brands that corresponds to the flavor.

After entering the store, my boss gave us a lot of experimentation: Cologne into lighters Jet to leaping flame proof perfume contains a lot of alcohol, by contrast, lighted match one in essence bottle is gone; the flavor drop into the water, immediately to the seafloor, proof of which is mixed with water; put a drop of flavor blended in a large bottle of water and shake well, water with a strong aroma ...

And so on. Staff hospitable to us all, hands each position, are covered with colorful fragrance, for a long time. Arab bosses for guests to provide free tea, coffee, juice, Hawthorn beverages are quite unique.

The flavor has many interesting names, one of the most funny temptation called desert, is said to the woman drops three drops, can men play a strong aphrodisiac effects.

Haha, the world seems to have a preference, Yang Chinese like, like Egypt, even I was discovered by the Indians of South America, all of ...

Flavor that is different from refined perfume, it has not been allocated, is even more rich, the storage time will be longer.

Because this kind of thing, there is no contact with too much awareness, only feeling flavor and scent the biggest difference, perhaps in a persistent aroma. Remember to go to Europe, the Guide and I talked about the persistence of these, perfume, so short some day need buzhuang, so there is the perfume will note a "toilet use" flavor persistence grow.

The most interesting fact here, or see the guest owner doesn't allow and supervise staff.

The level of prices, all depends on the individual's ability to negotiate.

But my mission, but experts in this field, had to admire. Play it to cut down the price, the initial release, cut enough hard, not cut into the lower leg. Travel, bargain him down is a technology that is also a very interesting travel experience.

Because the store is loaded in the flavor in a wide variety of bottle, it all depends on the workers manually, and then paste the appropriate name, sort of like the past of playing oil.

It's all too easy, or easily confused, then the guest will enjoy himself Governor's array.

Flavor another usage, that is the essence of harmony in the water, riding in incense aroma bottle, will be distributed to the entire room.

Incense bottles are artificial, glass blowing, very nice!
