Always remain in my memory of Egypt (1)

First day: night Beijing-Dubai

Second day: Dubai Airport waiting to fly to Cairo flights on the morning because the alternate tickets that have not been able to pray for one afternoon, coupled with efforts to finally afternoon on the aircraft, although the efforts a bit wasteful.

Boeing 777-300 really large, in order to be able to sit together and her husband, gave the location of emergency exits, and a woman-a location, sitting in the rear middle seat, 4-hour 400 more movie channels, read and sleep, flatulence, stomach a bit light meals that taste nothing, nothing to eat. Front of the small Baby got a gift package, her husband that this presents a great, crazy thinking about if you take your baby to be like.

Finally arrives in Cairo, although is 8 p.m., the equivalent of Shanghai night 2 points.

Travel agency has been sending people in old Cairo airport gate, meet us, take us to the hotel. Hotel accommodation in JISA (pyramid location), the road drivers to cut across a small town, but didn't want to get the traffic jam, with no traffic lights, coach, minibus, cart, donkey carts, carriages and blocking, so all kinds of sound of trumpets, donkeys, horses, scold the human voice (the drivers here are like his own horn into a strange voice, also is not the same, then found the speakers are actually ship with the whistle) messed up, finally rushed out of the siege. The hotel is 4 stars, is broken, there is no elevator, elevator door is the wooden corridor directly, there is taste room small and dark, but it was very clean and comfortable bed, the bathroom is also very large.] Downstairs to eat stomach medicine points of boiling water, resulting in the elevator door was forced to shut down, only on the 5th floor. Restaurant waitress warm, almost put me and her husband's body. Would only say that WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Third day: morning, the Sun is very good, the curtains would see the pyramids, the majestic stands where, when, just last night to see a little shadow.

A little excited, first stop today is the pyramid.

Go downstairs for breakfast buffet, the Western habit of eating also.

France between an old man asked us which, he said he just went to Shanghai last week. Foreign man happy Ah, retired on the day of travel, there are a bunch of old team is too old and Pakistan. SAT, guided tours, old lady asked me if I bought water either, I said the next shop, a bottle of EGP 2, he said you lose, we a large bottle bought at the hotel only 2 points. Rely on, just to be slaughtered. Then understand what she said is the pound sterling. They get slaughtered.

Guided tours to Egypt, thin young man, no age, think should be better than our two young, have only 10 months, daughter of the pyramids in Cairo on the edge of JISA plateau, see JISA really is dirty, the Earth is garbage, but no one cleaned, tons of dust.

Go to hufu, Hough, koalas door three generations 3 pyramids. Tower air, thanks to bring long-sleeved, thought he would be very excited to see the pyramids, the result is that only a point of excitement, want to climb it, the result is the Guide la down, let us sit down, to explain to us, said a whole nearly half an hour, as previously done the homework, although his English strong accent, I understand most of that is simply some history, construction methods, and legends. Finally warned us here will not affect is free, all in all the services that are not accepted. This is me in all know before their lessons. The front took a few photos, just a few metres of climbing on a group of people in Japan, can't shoot, and ran to the corner there hufu want panoramic, enthusiastic Egypt police came, and I'll tell you how to shoot, took my camera out there, a husband, don't give him, I hand him a song, to help us take a 2 piece, and then he asked us to tip her husband couldn't draw a 1-point to him, "no, no one, five," Grandma, it's not stealing money. Take the money go, honey white at me and told me not to BU Yi! this tour runs over, I threw up towards his tongue, how the police. Then went to the son and grandson hufu built the pyramids and then in a distant point of the Hill, to a family portrait, here is a good place to shoot, so many locals take a camel to soliciting business. See here on the Internet before slaughter people stories, can't say the tour guide on camels or picture, I plead in Dubai has ridden a camel, out of use. That and the pyramids-beat sense is not the same, you can also do not ride. Oh, that's not a free shot? guide smiled at me, said I know how I can give you a free shot. He and the distraction of the camel what locals a sentence, then leads us toward his camel, camel, next to shoot a few have pyramid as background pictures. Finally have not received my tip.

Step Pyramid, is the oldest of the embryonic form of the pyramid, there is no such great slightly dismayed and how future that incomparable brilliance? proved that the failure is the mother of success, only practice to the truth.

The Tower before there is a broken temples, inside this has 2 rows of Pharaoh's statue, are stolen. Only left one room for people to imagine the original look.

Then bypass to go to the Sphinx, the Sphinx as accompanied Giza at Nile silently guarding a 4000-year, in fact, Egypt has many Sphynx, this is famous because of his biggest and has a very mysterious legends.

It was Napoleon at the pyramids and it was found. Take the team from before, and Sphinx to a few intimate photos, the photo is fairly clean, you have extra head. In Sphinx in front of a vowed pool, not much water, but also very muddy, which threw a lot of national currency, I found that the RMB 5 point of many (there is no way to discover the Chinese team, but this proves that there are still many mainland compatriots to).

The second station Memphis City: in fact it is the ancient city was also the rest of the things set together, the best is to Rameses II of the statue, perfect, very handsome, and very high yingwu, Egypt's many statue is a block of stone carving, here is a kind of stone is very soft, very vivid carved figures.

There are LionsAs the human face, human face is a Latin American II, his death, his beard, curling up beard is done after death, straight Beard's time. A circle came out. En route, cannot help guide the temptation to a jewelry store, making a silver is, my name is used in ancient Egypt text engraving. Lunch in a specially designed do tourists of a restaurant, a typical Arab food, dishes, a variety of sauce, pickles, barbecue, 2 glass of freshly squeezed juice (after the pudding to 20 points a Cup, Jethro black and was a slaughter). A restaurant, along with several people at a local musical instruments meet us, between personal wear this Pharaoh's clothes, holding a small lion to Pocket business, to take pictures. Most guests never dare, because fear is too outrageous fees, but some people are willing to spend. Small Lion really poor, unwilling to be touched, felt helpless.

The third station, Cairo Museum, finally came to the city centre of Cairo, the messy, but more than JISA clean, Egypt 4 many: many, many, many car flies, tips and more.

Never seen so many cars, misdemeanor is didn't see a traffic light or traffic Police directing traffic, all on your own, no point talent really can't, BMW Mercedes-Benz is hurting. The Museum is not permitted to take photographs, but you can casually touch, thousands of years of cultural relics that leave you so near, reach out to touch. The guide focuses on a number of very important, but very detailed, second floor, is a collection of tutankamen treasure, three as a baby, the coffin as legend of the Golden mask here, set in sakaltutan scammon head of "Golden Mask", with about 17 kg of pure gold in accordance with the King, his face is the Amethyst, yellow eye eyeball is ivory, very realistic, the Pharaoh, young and handsome face was vivid portrayal. Mask followed by Pharaoh's hair, hair naturally into a golden braid, so beautiful! is alarming: three thousand years ago, Egypt's Metal forging process has reached such a high level of so delicate carving! beautiful, Chinese people at that time, pales. In the show room to watch a long time, this is only a small history of Egypt Pharaoh's demise, but is very hasty for burial, unimaginable as Rameses the great old funerary this is spectacular, is it really like movies filmed in gold and silver treasures over those treasures in this way was stolen, live folk, this carving delicate gold products is probably the ancient Egypt who melts into a Golden Nugget, a pity. From museums to tear out, mind you, just 2 hours, 2 days here watching is not enough, to the bookstore and buy a book, to fill. Then rush to market the famous Hariri, equivalent to our Xiangyang road, souvenirs, and other commodities and gold and silver jewelry, only when browsing through some, there is no plan to shop, good big a market, very, very busy, also let me giddy that dare not ask about price, know the expensive here, first there is a bottom until the Luxor. Open Luohua one day rush, take the night train to Aswan, foreigners have sleeper train, if you see the local train will jump, breaking is broken. Small car with the conductor a trifling with the beds, a late to also very sweet. Fourth day: morning to Aswan, the Guide has held up a sign at the train door waiting for us, and soon to the hotel, and discuss travel guide, and then put the luggage for Aswan day, today's trip was very tight, the Aswan Dam, bafile Temple, ride FLUCCA (local a sailboat) tour of the most beautiful one River, two small islands, the unfinished Obelisk. Dam Egypt people proud of great architecture, and for the Chinese people, dam and unusual, but it's wrong, or the work is over, time will give the best answer. By speedboat to the bafile, due to dam construction, bafile temple site was flooded to save this great monuments, is the United Nations of the world cultural heritage organizations provide assistance, the whole temple is home to the nearby Achilles rugghia Island, today's tour will be able to see their talents. ToFile Temple of beautiful and moving story, adding to its mystery. Let the most impressive is that after two thousand years and still save a complete "Tura's Pavilion." This consists of the Roman Emperor Tura's tribute Roman-style pavilions, from 14 root carving exquisite stone surround, sky, green water and nine heavy GE, surrounded by Palm trees, their attitude is so charming, elegant, located in the side of the island, then visit the unfinished Obelisk, Aswan is still left in the ruins of the ancient quarries for visitors, ancient Egypt around the stone is cut, from here, through the waterway transport mined out. There is a no processing completed Obelisk, built in Hart Schöpp Sudal (hot sheep suit) Queen in bit era, this Obelisk was a basic shape, because when the rock face, fissure stonemasons who gave this is nearing completion of the project. The Obelisk erected, height if up to 40 meters, will be the tallest Obelisk Egypt. The most pleasant time of the afternoon is sitting on the Nile FLUCCA roaming, pleasant on both sides of the river water, wind blowing cheeks, ears from time to time, there was the sound of the Muslim prayer, after two small islands, called Elephant Island, is a village of ancient Egypt, the site still in archaeological excavations, beside a small museum, see Egypt children toys that are made of mud or wooden little plaything, are the shape of an animal or person. At that time, the people of decoration, some styling is very popular today. Their currency is like our chess. Then Kitchener
