Save the most intact of the Eagle Temple (tour of the ancient mysteries of the Nile, an)

21 December, we came to Eide (Edfu) city. The city is located in the North of Aswan (Aswan) 123 km, Luxor (Luxor) about 140 km to the South, is the only River Nile cruise. This place since prehistoric times, already have traces of human habitation, Egypt and Nubia gold exhaustion previously, here is the concentrated around the gold, which you can imagine that here.

In the morning, dozens of cabs pleasure boat in the parking, we set the Terminal carriage to the temple.

The cart with two rows of seats 4 people face-to-face travel. Jung Fu saw the driver side vacancy, then sit beside the driver, when the co-pilot, Front Street, bitch, the heart of the United States, Halter.

Then, we have to tip the driver.

Travel anterior, Liu Huan tells us that the way the tips paid, not to pay. When I pointed out that the tip paid out, the driver pointed at TI, that sit in the seat next to him, and let his speed, these are additional tips. Jung Fu could not understand, but know and he related. I Ting Fu said: "do you think that sit at the head of the picked a cheap price. "Tin Fu said:" he didn't say in advance to accept tips!, "I said:" you're still as Egypt brothers do contribution! "

In Egypt, tourists can encounter problems with your tips.

Egypt accept tips beat is a "people's war". In tourist attractions, your camera and if so to what locals, they'll put professional POSE, and handle a stretch to tip. Even the police standing guard on duty will be offered to his photography, and then to tip. Frequently encountered where tipping is toilet, 1 El pounds per person. If you do not pay money, suffocated and don't want to go in. In fact, station wagon, but there is a toilet tour does not advocate because one person to bathroom with assistance, and they smell bad. So often to see such a phenomenon: the coach stopped in spots, get off at one of the first tourists flocked to the toilet, in the hands of people like choke-Egyptian pounds.

Annoying is that the toilet door's reluctance to change.

We have a young man, the regiment had no small change, took out 10 El pounds, because it is not to change, he had shouted: "whoever is in the toilet? me!" which treat of the scenes I see many guest toilet on the first time I saw. Unfortunately, the regiment has been to the toilet, and no one to respond. Later a partner solution of the Wai, lent his 1-Egyptian pounds. In Abu usimbe Temple, I encountered the same problem, I only have 20 El pounds of our money, the door in the hands of even small change many received almost caught up, is not to change. I had to borrow 1 Egyptian pound. In Egypt, the most popular is 1 El pounds, I do not know is not a series of good, all the shops are not visitors for small change, let you discuss raked didn't slaughter.
