My Turkey, Egypt 15 Tour 2

My Egypt 15 Tour 2

D2（2-17）

Local time 2: 00 a.m. and finally landed at Cairo airport.

Customs at the Bank Exchange Office for El lb (1: 6, 15), but from 100 dollars, kitchen sink, our people, otherwise this exchange rate is too low. Because of the time too early, before the little airport taxi, someone recommend a minibus, 70LE11 personal, the price is acceptable, but later we knew it was a pirate ship, as we have no prior booking hotels, so you can only follow travel guide introduction to go on, get our minds the thousand pick wanxuan hotel before everyone spirits soar (albeit in the middle of the night) at night in Cairo, or even the CityGuide gives "looks like the Beijing" reviews. In the when you reach the hotel, nice to wake up, our first taste of the Egypt's cunning, drivers faster than we rushed upstairs, although we repeatedly refused him. As a result, while we climbed from luggage heap, ran on the second floor, he has presence to stand aside, sinking feeling! sure enough, when we asked about House prices, than the book marked on almost doubled, but the room is also unsatisfactory. After deliberation we decided to let the driver took us to the liberation square, ready to find their own. But when we arrived, the driver to go with him we a hotel at a glance, we took a look at no loss ideas (in fact, in the middle of the three, who all want to get laid down their luggage, sleep), sent two representatives to follow up. The room is not good, to four persons, while the remaining three persons, but look at prices cheaper than previous home, 30LE/person (in fact, the room is also not cheap), location in the city centre, close to attractions near, reluctantly agreed to live by, but requested that the next day all into the second room, full of promise. Of course in the next two days, there is no room for even the most basic one blanket cannot meet, the shopkeeper's attitude is very tough. Part of the CityGuide in early the next morning on the moved out and find shelter. Because we were too lazy to toss about, make do with just two nights. When we check-out, we give a consistent reviews "brigands," so tell later: 1, before arriving in Cairo, it's a good idea to book accommodation. 2. don't make money first, and all reached you require and then pay for it. 3, the brigands name is "Cairo hotel", in the liberation square opposite the bus terminus is, Hilton, we must stop them!

Three-point half-in, cold and noisy, sleep is not around anymore.

When ten us out of the hotel, Cairo Sun let us stay overnight from the shadow of the jumped out. Taxi (5LE) to train local pick up tickets (ticket but without reservation, the hotel Beijing partners in sun direct a plus handling charge before 61LE, than first class. While we each paid the $ 14, before the first class. The legendary student ticket is not), I changed a bunch of El lb (1: 6.5), find a passing shop for lunch. No choice, bread, beans, bread, beef, chicken, tomato salad made. The taste is not good, but freshly squeezed juice and let us drink very fun (mango juice 2LE/Cup, sugar cane juice 1LE/person). The PW meeting, we'll go straight to the Egypt Museum, the way in the sun next to the hotel set on the second day of the pick-up in Aswan and the accommodation (15LE/person).

Red Museum in the city around the grey building stand out, shake with fear and cross the street, in the tourist police stared down into the Museum doors, front need to open the package into the checks, security doors.

Later almost all of the attractions, the procedures are necessary, but gives the impression that form over function. Tickets are 15LE/person (student price), but does not need to pay for his camera. Completing inspection, standing at the Sphinx's revered, eyeing the Red building: than normal second floor is much higher, coral red walls, white emboss, line simple and quite the Roman architectural style. Much like stepping into the gate of the temple (a line of security), the eyes become crystal clear. The Museum is divided into upper and lower layers. The same is the Roman-style decoration, milky white walls and staircases, gives people the feeling more like one of Europe's largest library, quiet, simple and elegant. The first impression is good. Due to time constraints, we start to the second floor, on the second floor stairs to buy a ticket to enter the Mummy galleries (20LE/person, student price). The exhibition room is not allowed to take pictures, even the channel are privately, off to display various types of mummification: Nubian, bronze mask, large and small knives, packed with dirty pots and so on, before it picks up a dark atmosphere. Dimly lit showroom only 20 square, there are approximately 178 a glass coffin, coffin was, of course, those million above the King and Queen. Some masks terrible, others very tranquil, nails, hair, teeth, all well preserved, especially two Queen full head bushy hair is into a lot of Plait, today it is still very avant-garde. The most famous in the mummy is placed in the showroom in the Centre of Rameses II Mummy. This was the most powerful in the history of Egypt, the most handsome, but also is the most conceited King, for future generations left countless miracles and conjecture, and he himself quietly lying there. Maybe it was psychological role, his head is slightly raised, pride closed eyes. Just from his profile was difficult to find out those huge sculpture of handsome face.

The Mummy galleries, discovered in fact second floor exhibits the most is the Mummy-related exhibits, what mummies set coffin, wrapped mummy banners, or even the Mummy cat, etc, because too many exhibits, plus English describes a very simple, yet our side to go forward, while looking for the most famous tutankamen mask.

Finally the end of the second floor to see a number of European tourists, come to see, it really was the famous Golden Mask galleries like travel book said, overcrowding, in every day to dark layout for all the galleries, in addition to gold exhibits, is the colour of the tourists. Showroom in Central glass cover of consternation is tutankamen Golden mask. Although the picture has been seen many times, butReal face, had impressed with its beautiful luxury style, exquisite exquisite technology, dazzle dazzling color. In the subsequent courses also found the ancient Egypt's bold and elegant color, color, or three, five, but after each match, the effect is very eye-catching, exaggerated, modern style. Golden mask of color that four, gold, blue, red, green, but the Visual effects are very strong. The entire mask vivid, even behind the mask are very delicate. Mask around respectively display gold set of coffin unearthed and some other accessories such as necklaces, top Crown, rings, or even ancient Egypt's clip toe sandals. All the jewelry in gold, precious stones, on embedded various color style hyperbole, fine workmanship, it is hard to imagine thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt people is how do I make out. Tutankamen is a small ancient Egypt's Pharaoh, a teenager died, his father was tough but attracted means the surrounding noble's dissatisfaction, and he died, the young tutankamen hands and no real power, but merely a puppet of mercy, and his untimely death is quite controversial, had seen a topic discovery, content is on the death of tutankamen speculation. Today's we can see these amazing heritage because of tutankamen has no real power, funerary too little, rather than throw the crazy mining looters. From here we can set imagine Rameses II so powerful King, died of funerary what scale!

In the Golden Mask galleries right is the ancient Egypt jewellery show, and on the second floor shows were unearthed in furniture, sculpture, weapons, etc.

We're also lucky to run into a mission of Taiwan tour, a Chinese tour guide, although those Chinese tour guide Chinese and my English level almost (can only be a single word to hop out to), but we'd like to come to listen to for a long time. When we go to the next floor, first floor, visitors have not much. On the first floor of the main display with many sculptures, inscriptions. The material is very rich, we also see the exhibition of ancient Egypt from Shanghai shipped back in, not yet opened in wooden box.

The whole afternoon we all stayed at the Museum, but also can be glimpsed its numerous exhibits a part of.

Until closed time we "trudge" went out of the gate. At this point in Cairo is an evening-the sky.

In the evening we went to El Lily proofing, but give us the so-called friend took paper sedge shop, in addition to each person holding back a pile of paper Sedge, nothing else.

So when in Aswan and Luxor because I do not know the price but didn't buy anything. Tip: Luxor price is cheaper than a lily, especially the silverware. Qom ombu silk cheaper than a lily and a better quality, pattern.
