The whole tour Egypt (continued)

Leaving the boat after Edwin foo to Isla that gate.

Approximately 12: 00 pm, the cruise docked in esna Pier, wait too esna lock. More than two hours, the cruise ship continues to move forward to the North, in the evening, the cruise ship through a bridge across the River Nile, in ancient Egypt dynasties and the capital of the new dynasty of Luxor, starting to render before our very eyes. The original estimate of the next day to reach the Luxor cruise ship, early day arrived, so we in Luxor tours from the original plan of the day into two days, this is unexpected, because in Luxor day tour is too hasty.

The docking of cruise ships gradually, from the deck, the Sun is setting, the West Bank of the River is a layer such as paper-like hills; River is one white double-mast sail, where elegant travelling the East coast of the River; is rows with Arab architectural style of the buildings and mosques, temples, tropical trees on the shore is neat in long beach, Coast dock with rows of luxury cruise ship ...

So a bustling and beautiful city.

2040 BC, Pharaoh, the capital moved to Luxor in Egypt, and created the Kingdom and the new Kingdom period.

It has also become the ancient civilizations of Egypt and a tripod peak period, generation after generation of Pharaoh continues building its own's Tomb and Temple, the building techniques, sculpture painting has reached a very high level.

Pharaoh in the East of the Nile, the construction of the temple and the construction of the West Bank in it, this is the mausoleum and the Sun.

Since ancient Egypt people worship the Sun, that is the sun rises in the East, symbolizes the beginning of life; West is the place where the sun sets, the symbol of the dead.

One morning, we travel to the mausoleum of the Emperor in the West Bank of the Nile, which is located 7 km to the West Nile, you can choose from Thebes Northern-steep city mountain highway.

Starting from Egypt, in dynasty Pharaoh is no longer built pyramids, reposes in West Nile Valley of Thebes, where in their underground mausoleum built luxury. In the nearly 500 years before and after, 62 Pharaoh and countless Queen nobility are buried here, forming the famous Valley of Kings tomb. The Emperor's Tomb Valley in two parts, to the North-West is the burial place of Pharaoh, known as the "Valley of the Kings; the Southwest is" the burial place of the Queen and the nobility, known as the "Queen of the Valley".

However, those new dynasty period of Pharaoh's Tomb, and there is no escape from the clutches of looters, many people run the risk of danger for the scholars are grave discovered the entrance to the tomb of treasure.

That most of the tombs was completely destroyed, the luxury of the caves have been sacked, many caves entrance door, to become the beast's lair. After thousands of years, the Emperor's Tomb Valley has become riddled with problems, deserted desolate.

Nevertheless, the Valley of the Kings and still full of curiosity, and looked forward to further unveiling her mysterious veil.

Mausoleum of painting also beckons to observe the world.

We first come to the Southeast is located in the Imperial Valley mountains stretch at the side of the door farmers alike.

There are two statues standing rock in West Nile and all the Colossus is block stone statue. The new era of the Kingdom of the flowering of the almond Huo StEPP III construction, each statue are up to 18 m. As the old, weathered severe facial identification has been unavailable. Watch the majestic statue makes me sigh, history such as clouds, just playing with a finger.

The tour takes us to the Queen Valley, where the main buried Queen, feizi, Prince and Princess of graves, inside of a smaller scale than the Imperial Valley to small lot.

From the car park to the catacombs to go some way, apart from the surrounding barren, rocky outcrop of gravel is the endless desert, reveal a dreary yellow.

In the bright sun exposure, high-temperature heat we are broken. we visited Rameses III, son of the Tomb.

Tomb, is to stand the thief sacked tomb left some frescoes, and a mouth empty sarcophagus, sarcophagus right there is a small glass Cabinet, inside a Fetal skeleton. Then look at a tomb, and even the Tomb owner's names are forgotten, frankly, not some special study on archaeology and interested people, there is no need to visit here.

Pharaoh's Tomb in the construction of the grotto, also the construction of a temple of sacrifice, with Hart Schöpp Sudal female Pharaoh's offering the most magnificent temple.

Originally our trip was to visit the "Valley of the Kings," Ali proposals we give up watching "the Kings Valley" was changed to go to Hart Schöpp Sudal offering Temple (because it is a separate area, not included in the Imperial Valley, if you are going, need to increase attraction tickets, fares and tour fees). Ali thinks "Kings Valley" Pharaoh's Tomb in addition to the larger and some frescoes, and the "Queen of the Valley" little difference. We accepted his offer, built in the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt Hart Schöpp Sudal offering Temple.

Queen sacrifice Temple is an unusually three-tier architecture.

It consists of three Temple, the largest is the Hart Schöpp Sudal Queen, the right is the Queen's husband illustration-Morse II Temple, and then to the right is already abandoned Hamon hua Temple of StEPP III. The whole temple scale, using the up and down three cascading into the structure. Each layer stands a statue of the great female Pharaoh. In each tier Colonnade of the wall are carved the magnificent murals and Emboss, Queen of the described above and the birth of her reign during the event.

In EURASIP, Ali first image method Let's play female Pharaoh Hart respectively Schöpp Sudal, and her father figure-Morse I, her brothers, her husband illustration-Morse II, was her under house arrest and sent to the remote Xinjiang army of figure-Morse III and other characters, vivid spoke at length about the period in the history of the Royal family stories and legends.

Hart Schöpp Sudal was ancient Egypt 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Matute Morse I and Queen's only child.

She was smart, strong character, dream of one day be able to rule the prosperity of Egypt. 1512 years b.c., figure-Morse I died, he and the eldest son of Princess and Hart Schöpp Sudal, acceded to the throne, that is the figure-Morse II. Map-Morse II bred throne shortly after, the power will fall into the Hart cheppe Sudal. A few years after the death of her husband, they have no children, HartSchöpp Sudal arranged II and a born feizi 12-year-old little boy throne, that is the figure-Morse III. Because he was old enough by Hart Schöpp Sudal as his guardian and the Affairs of government-wide in his own hands.

Map-Morse III grew up, having the ambition of Hart Schöpp Sudal his exile to remote areas, declared itself as Pharaoh.

In order to make her Throne officially, she made with the help of monks, that he was the Sun god Amun of women, can become the rule in Egypt's Pharaoh. In order to maintain your own kingship, she likes to wear a fake moustache, dressed in men's wear, men welcome, eg the corset to protests Yan Scepter (offering Temple has many such statues). In Hart Schöpp Souter ruling of 22 years, Egypt social stability and economic prosperity. BC 1458, she died of illness (Ali tells us that the Queen had just in June mummies were discovered by archaeologists, Egypt on Mummies teeth and physical features of some parts of the body, and on the Mummy and the mummy of female Pharaoh family for DNA testing confirmed that her life, and confirmed that she is sick and died, not people guess is killed in violence). Thus, figure-Morse III suddenly return to the throne, out of revenge, he destroyed all the things with her about. Since then, she traces the history of Egypt was all wiped away, temples and statues, murals corrupted broken, smashed the monument missing Mummy.

This female Pharaoh's also concerned with the Bible, because she is the adoptive mother of Jewish prophets Moses.

Around 1900 b.c., the Jewish nation was rejected by the drought to Egypt to settle in Egypt, refuge for nearly 400 years, since the population grew, let Pharaoh worry about their own power and position under threat. In order to reduce the Jewish population, BC 1525, Hamon Huo tepu I ordered the killing of all Jewish baby boy. After the birth of the Prophet Moses was mother placed in the basket, discarded in the Nile river rafting, coincides in was a bath in the River Hart Schöpp Sudal Princess found and adoption. Since then, Moses in the Palace, he is handsome and talented, erudite, won the Hart Schöpp Sudal's favour.

The Queen died, Moses lost cards, he killed a bully Jews escape from Egypt and the Sinai.

Later, he led Israel out of Egypt, the people in the desert for 40 years, wandering eventually led the Jews to return to the land of Canaan.

We at Hart Schöpp Sudal offering temple for nearly 2 hours back and forth, I take pictures in there busy, fear of missing out on anything.

I think that in Egypt all the temples, give me the deepest impression is the Hart Schöpp Sudal female Pharaoh Temple of sacrifice.

Noon lunch back to cruise ship, a break, the Guide proposes a horse car, Ali, stroll down the streets of Luxor, can take us to Arabian coffee shops have a cup of coffee with Arab flavour.

Total $ 12 per person, time for 2 hours. This proposal was I politely refused. I think that during this time, why they cannot find a coach to City stroll? free, the cost is not necessarily so expensive. And so they now a go, we are a family of four is a cruise ship, and soon at the pier hired a horse-drawn carriage, in urban and du long streets to play more than three hours. As it turns out, rent a cart shopping, drinking coffee, the total cost of an average of $ talent 3.5 saves money and enjoyed.

Carter is a typical Nubian young man, dressed in traditional robes, the face of Arab appears black and thin, with a chat soon and we are familiar with.

His coat Pocket carefully took out a photo, it is a very pretty girl in the West. Young man claimed that it was his wife. Our congratulations to him. In fact, I knew that this 80% is false, a young man I had met the Foreign Affairs. In China, young people have the object, the others ask always answer does not recognize that too many people know. While the alien is not the case, they are most afraid of other people thought he did not object, a meeting will introduce their other half, if there is no object, you will get a totally irrelevant woman photos, others look down upon him.

We sat on the horse-drawn carriage, the driver open car small audio on a wagon of Arab music, leisurely in Luxor's street market run, so close to the lives of local people in Egypt, a first-hand look at their daily diet, customs, cannot but sincerely feel of the journey.

You see, the various shops on the street, look and our country more or less the same, but the shop is closed. The original owner has put goods on the door of the street, it is not surprising that the road is extremely crowded and messy. There are a variety of clothing, fruit, carpets, handicrafts, grocery and food stalls. Only those pedestrians on the clothes we, men like to head up towels, clothes and linen sewing of black, white and green robe; women like head wrap shawl, clothing colorful pleat dress and an apron. The streets of Egypt and we are very friendly, beckon with us frequently, especially in some children, laughing, playful, in front of the car after us. From their decoration and the surrounding environment, life here is still rather poverty, a road, and begging. Along the way of housing and we see the temples than or not to go there, brick and tile peeling, dilapidated, almost is dangerous, there are a lot of people live. Street taxi rarely, horses, donkeys have become carriers, many middle-aged women put a heavy large baggage, parcel roof over his head. ...

Driver according to our requirements, we come to an Arabian coffee shop coffee.

This is a completely with Arab style decoration shop, hanging on the wall of the Arab pictorial woven with huge tapestries, comparison of indoor decorations, old look undertakings already some years ago.

In our coffee, the groom was in the shop pumping up the hookah, this is my first time to see how Egypt people smoking.

Them with brass water swim (Egypt people smoking apparatus), placed at the top of the chimney smoke pot, Central has a water glass balls, the lower part of the installation of a long hose, outside package eat embroidered with patterns of silk, the last paragraph is the cigarette holder. When pumping, tobacco, spices and so on, through the smoke potGlass ball in the mouth of the suction filter. I see some 10-year-old boy was there a zestful sucks, was kind to their country after a generation sad, thinking of ancient Egypt to create such a brilliant achievement, now?

In Luxor's next day early morning, after breakfast, we run the check-out away from the cruise ship.

Today's schedule or more generous. In the morning, we went to Egypt's largest Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple, the afternoon in a specified collection of travel, to concentrate on the Red Sea resort — Angel gyda.

We first came to the Luxor Temple.

It is made of the Eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt Hamon Huo tepu III. The nineteenth dynasty by Rameses II expansion. Therefore it is a two-part. The front part is Rameses II courtyard, rear section is Hamon Huo tepu III courtyard, is composed of four rows of paper sedge bundle columns consisting of the Colonnade, and finally the Sun boat ancestral temple and the sanctuary. Temple of full-length 262 m, width of 56 metres, the Tower door, courtyards, post office and into the temple.

In the Temple of Luxor, in front of the tower stands up to 14 meters of Rameses II in respect of two seated Buddha statue, four and two up to 25 m of the Obelisk.

Now these as two left in the statue of the seated, a statue and a square Tower. One obelisk in 1836 year gave France King Louis · Philip.

Thick tower gate 30 m height, the above four square hole is inserted where the flag.

Ali tells us that the door of the Tower on the right side of the wall was exquisite color emboss, the above description of Rameses II and an enemy of Hittite Syria times up to 12 years of fighting, and the last two countries to conclude the terms of the contract. Unfortunately, due to the flooding of the river erosion and weathering; in the Tower door on the left wall, you can clearly see a tall strong horse, the horse has a lot of legs, indicating that the war is very fast, step by step, fearless, skelter fly-over.

Not far from entering the front door is a mosque, Ali said, in the eleventh century the Arabs came to this place, then the Luxor temples have been drowned by Sandy, only to reveal some of the more high buildings.

Arabs in ruins has built a mosque, and later, the dust is requested in addition to the clean, the temple is very high position, like the construction of the roof of the temple. Now, this building has a 1000-year history of the mosque is still in use.

Then walked past it to Rameses II, the construction of the Hall.

It is surrounded on three sides and are based on paper sedge built huge pillars, the shape, the left has a courtyard Queen Hart cheppe Sudal little church, several small room on the right is dedicated to the Sun God and the son of it.

After a seven on Lotus shaped Colonnade of tall, we came to Hamon Huo StEPP III building courtyard, Luxor Temple of the second half.

It is surrounded on three sides and is also used a double paper sedge bundle columns courtyard around which is a city of the South Pier, Pier by 32 roots. Inside the relief display Hamon Huo StEPP III is crowned by the gods. Left and right sides of a small temple, just don't know what is sent.

Speaking of Hamon Huo StEPP III and his son, in the ancient Egypt's history is also very famous personalities.

Ah Meng Huo StEPP III, very talented, Eighteenth dynasty in his rule, reached Egypt peak, he built the Western Thebes Luxor Temple and the doors of many agricultural giant like the Grand building. Ah Meng Huo StEPP III or a very love life, the pursuit of romantic love of the King, he and an ordinary civilian daughter love story, which has been passed down to future generations. But his only son Hamon-Fok Tupou throne, even daring to subvert the transmission delay is 2000 history-old Egypt religion. He originally espoused ' God to believe in God, Thom, put my name to name kennametal, meaning "bright", swallowing, a wave of religious Reformation, become ancient Egypt for thousands of years of history in a man of the hour. The Hamon Huo StEPP III, the third generation, his grandson sakaltutan scammon throne, he reversed his father believes in God, of ' swallowing his father in the reform efforts of all in all, the all new temple was demolished. However, his famous due to his tomb, the only complete unearthed Tomb, for posterity, offers the most splendid ancient Egypt historical documents.

Leave the yard.

Then go straight through the middle of a door came in Roman Emperor worship of the altars. Altars and after a channel to a corridor 2x2 root column, the last is the Central Office of the Holy of Holies. It is worth mentioning in the corridor column Hall of the wall painting a mural of the Christian life is reflected. It was in Roman times, many people start Christian Egypt, and later by the persecution of Roman Emperor, flee their homes to be here, and we see bafile Temple, they in Luxor Temple began social life. From the year after centuries, where the establishment of several churches. Their temple surrounded by stone walls was painted on a very colorful paintings, it is said that there is a picture of the "last supper" is very famous. However, due to the flood of corrosion, the old, most of the paintings have been peeling. Recently, two artists from Italy to help Egypt Heritage Management Department will these fresco restoration, this work is being implemented.

In Luxor Temple of the Sun boat ancestral side, there are a lot of relief on the wall, Ali told us a very interesting story.

The many relief figures, there is a name-Hamon. door of ordinary people. One day, Rameses III to expedition fighting, Luxor city all men must participate. Only the door-Hamon. stay. Because he's only a hand, is a disabled person cannot communicate with the enemy. A few months later, when returning from the battlefield soldier found that many women are pregnant. The matter charged to Rameses III, Pharaoh who became furious, severely punish him, chop off his foot and lower body. Door-Hamon. died, people discovered that most women are giving birth to a boy. This makes a lot of people started to worship him to Egypt, he was honoured as a "reproduction" of God, and his portrait engraved in the temple. This is now we see only a hand 's-footMont-door Emboss. Later, many do not have children of women who have come here to touch the door-Hamon. the body, so that the wall has been touched Anaglyph like blackened.

Out of the gate of the Temple of Luxor, in front of the open land left and right are two rows of symmetrical face long animal statue group, this is the Sinai branch Tanya Chief I built SFINGE Avenue.

Ancient this avenue to express 2.5 km outside of the Karnak Temple. Unfortunately, most of the stone is decadence destruction, the road has long been abandoned. We can only take a detour to Karnak Temple.

We came to the Kanak temple's first tower in front of, first, in front of is listed on the sides of the God statue group of sheep, it is said that this is Rameses II.

In each block of RAM, in between two paw a statue of the Pharaoh's statuette, symbolizing the Pharaoh was the Sun God of asylum, many tourists stop here.

Karnak Temple is composed of a series of temple together, from Egypt to Greece in the period of the Kingdom of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, after 16 Pharaoh, successively built over a thousand years before completion.

Karnak Temple inside a total of 10 Tower door, from North to South and 6 from East to West was 4. The largest of a tower gate and final appearance of the Tower door Egypt 28 dynasty Sinai branch Tanya Chief I built. It has a height of 35 meters, we are from the tower gate came in.

Walk through the door in the face of the Tower 10 root level is a huge stone pillar, of which only one is complete, there are 25 metres high.

This is Egypt 25 dynasty Pharaoh Taha card left a masterpiece; due to the flooding of the Nile flood, most of the stone has been destroyed. Next to a stone wall, Ali gave us a look at 1887 flood leave marks. On one side of the large stone pillars, is a tall Rameses II statue, he is a block of granite, chisel, process extremely fine. Pharaoh portrait of knee carving is his favourite wife nepheg-Telecom.

Through the second tower door, they entered on a par with the Khufu, scale is the most similar buildings in the world of multi column Hall.

The Karnak Temple, the most worth watching is the world-many columns, it is the film "Nile tragedy" of important locations. Movies in those huge stone pillar Hall and large stones were pushed from the top of the stone down shots are filmed in Karnak Temple. Hall covers an area of 5000 square meters, built up to 134 of the stone, arrange the root into 16 rows. The highest stone pillar 23 m roof carved blooming flower sand grass paper and the shape of a Lotus, a stone pillar painted above all kinds of patterns and hieroglyphs. According to reports, the entire Hall from the nineteenth dynasty Rameses I mention by the Cypriot and Rameses II is complete.

These massive pillars, is how mining handling? what is erected? maybe I do not need to answer, at this moment only felt a shock of never before seen everything, so incredible, I think, is the use of modern advanced machinery and equipment to the construction of this magnificent building is very difficult.

You see, so tall pillar with 3000 years, still stands firmly, pictographs from the top of the pass and the pattern remains clearly visible, the vivid, look decent pharaonic statues, carved in the wall on the wonderful Emboss and colorful painted ... I had to ancient Egypt's wisdom and creativity of amazed. This is the wealth of Egypt, Egypt pride ...

Remember that there are places on the Internet, here's a mix that stone perimeter of up to 10 m to 6 personal hand in hand to make it to round up, so I called the family 4 people have climbed a pillar of the bench, hand in hand around the post, someone took a picture like that quite interesting.

Out of the multiple-column Hall, through the third tower door, it is already heavily damaged by the ruins of the temple.

Only two granite obelisk stands there. A root is the figure-Morse I of the Obelisk; 25 m, another is Hart's hope Sudal built by Queen, 29.6 meters. The two Obelisk are Aswan upper Nile region block of pink granite sculpture. Hart's hope Sudal Queen here originally built two Obelisk, establish a root Obelisk above was carved her father figure-Morse a name which is preserved, another was carved her own name and figure-Morse III after the demolition, damage due to the praise of the upper part of the Sun God also left in place for study.

Shuttle at Karnak Temple each Palace, undoubtedly came to the thousands of years of rich historical treasures.

From these broken stone, you still can see the times of prosperity. Carved on stone pillars, walls of Saint ship, dancers, the tree of life, the key of life, wisdom of the eyes, and so forth everywhere, although most of the buildings has become the ruins, but their value is immeasurable. Maybe the days of aesthetic fatigue, I just shot a few relatively complete Temple and the Pharaoh and the Empress's statue, there would be no to a good understanding of the history of other shrines and the status quo.

2 pm, went to the Red Sea Angel gyda of fleet in Egypt military police of his escape, evinces the withdrawal Jara desert to the Red Sea holiday.

Red Sea Resorts of East bordered to the West Sea, close to the desert, from South to North in the desert and forming a dozens of kilometres of green corridor.

This is specially prepared for tourists, on cruise ships, you can always reach the sea.

The next morning was originally going to see red Sunrise, but when day already.

Maybe the whole night sleep too comfortable. To the sea and the Sun already high suspended. Sunrise is not as we stroll on the beach.

The Red Sea is the world's most pristine sea and the most beautiful sea.

Sea water is not contaminated. Walk on, not a little sediment will build up. The beach is very slow, go for a long time not to knee in seawater, in our domestic coastal Beach, I've never met. Here the sea is crystal-clear, is showing a deep emerald green, half a metre deep with coral and marine life. Fascinating skyscape umbrella on the beach umbrellas, umbrella, many only under the arrangement with beach chairs, visitors from around the world while enjoying the pleasures of paradise. Hotel on the Beach also built several open-air swimming pool, children like playing there. swim

It is said that many Europeans are all here to buy the House and home, a vacation period, they will sit with the family special direct flight to hull gyda to holiday (there is a dedicated airport).

Back to accommodation place, we decided to take a small boat to go to sea twin.

This is a feast for the eyes of the runs, in nearly 4 hours of time, we blend in with nature. Top of blue sky and white clouds, floating in the water, on either side of the blue to the evolving world of buildings of various styles, in the Grand Cordon of the flowers were beautiful attitude rendered. Pleasant sea breeze wafting blowing, entrainment with slight smell of fish and a rich fruity aroma. One way is to look at all of the scenery, the road of praise. Occasionally in the face of coming from a small yacht, above those foreigners greeted us warmly. Make you feel a kind of unprecedented pride.

Boat from our resident Mo fun horse gram resort traveling to another unknown resort, not the same architectural style makes one feel as if they came to another country.

We decided to abandon the ship to go inside for a look (you can take the boat safely in the River. Never be others get away). Over the two bridges that cross the beautiful villas, came to the Red Sea resort. Same Beach, the same facilities, different colour crowd there stretch the body, enjoying the nature of the reward. Passionate waiter seems to know where we come from another country, gallantly asked us what we need help. The strange thing is that a big circle, do not see a yellow skin of Asian.

Hurried back to the hotel, because the 2 pm leaving here return to Cairo.

To say that any regrets come to Egypt, it is in the Red Sea to be too little time, and did not take the glass vessel, it was a beautiful cruise ships, ship hulls underwater part is made of glass. Shipping line to the sea depths, tourists can batch next to the cabin, glass-like transparency of ornamental marine hull, bizarre coral reefs and colorful fish. No alternative but to be looking forward to the next opportunity, however, life can have a few chances and opportunities?

The next day, 27 October morning, according to arrangements, we go to the run-Egypt's Alexandria City tour in the North.

Main attractions there is Alexander the great period of the last King of ancient palaces — a summer resort, coastal Fort — Carter bus (Qaytbay) Castle and Pompeii God column, etc. Starting from Cairo sat CMB is about more than three hours.

Alexander city is located in a Bay in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Gulf of a famous scenic spot is a summer resort, the other side is the Fort ancient coastal defence.

The city extends along the coastline, from East to West is 26 kilometres long. This is a modern city, along the seaside Boulevard, is a vast swathe of high-rise buildings, various vehicle shuttle in the street, look crowded and busy. As Alexander near Eastern Mediterranean climate pleasant, therefore, has been a lot of people longing for a holiday.

Alexander is Egypt, the capital of the ancient civilization last.

3 century b.c., Greece Macedonia of Alexander the great conquered Egypt in Africa, and in the most northern built to your own name as the capital city of Alexandria. After his death, when Alexander's Governor Ptolemy to Coronation as Pharaoh, the establishment of a final Egypt dynasty — the Ptolemy dynasty. Ptolemy and continued the essence of civilization in ancient Egypt, Greece and bring many civilizations, as magnificent ancient Egypt culture adds more brilliant.

King Ptolemy

Toward the last Pharaoh of Egypt post is pure Cleopatra. Many are detailed in the novel depicts her and the Roman Emperor Caesar the love story between the two thousand years, has been written, famous people, and adapted for a variety of plays and film. 30 years b.c., Egypt became a province of Rome. Entered Rome.

We first went to the summer palace, the Summer Palace is also called Montaza Palace (Manakh), is a summer resort for the Royal Garden, it is by the Arab Republic of Egypt was the last King of the monarchy before Sheikh Steve · ' pull ' II in 1922, the Palace built by the King.

Summer Palace is not open to the public, but the beautiful scenery around it will certainly attract you deeply.

It is located in Alexandria, the most beautiful Bay, cuddle a vast expanse of the Eastern Mediterranean. In the summer palace courtyard of NOK planting a variety of flowers and different grass as well as plenty of coconut-tree surrounded magnificent palaces. In the heat of summer, come here, I was feeling cool and comfortable, a feast for the eyes.

Through a dense forest, it will be seen in the Eastern Mediterranean sea water is blue and clear design, white trestle to the sea stretching from, joins a beige lighthouse.

A beautiful pedestrian bridge through the beach like Rainbow General ... , Eyes blocked out a picture of us-so, you are drunk and fanatics.

After leaving the summer palace, we drove to the famous cat BA (Qaytbay) ancient castle, the castle is located in the East end of the round the Bay is 1480, King Carter, named build.

In 1966 as the nautical Museum of Egypt, as Egypt's largest medieval castles.

Recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of Alexandria Lighthouse once stood here.

At that time, Alexander has become an important port in the Eastern Mediterranean, in order to give the harbor of vessel navigation, 305 years BC, Alexander ordered the construction of a lighthouse. Lighthouse has spent 20 years to build. According to the record, the whole Lighthouse are granite and copper material construction, night can illuminate a radius of 40 km/h zone. Tower up to 135 meters, was the world's tallest buildings. Unfortunately, this lighthouse was destroyed by the earthquake.

Ancient castle is a typical Arab architecture, its overall into rectangles, each corner has a cylinder of paolou.

It's true, in the azure blue sea plots, is so harmonious and attractive. Castle outside of the dam was full of tourists from around the world, some of the seashore wrecked many people where fishing.

The Eastern Mediterranean, and waves splashed in the rocks, high waves splashing in the dam, indexes to swim there came to take pictures.

Here the beach and the Red Sea coast, a striking difference. In the Red Sea on the beach, is a quiet, gentle, not a noisy sound of the sea as smooth as a mirror. While the situation in Alexandria Harbour, completely different, the waves entrainment into one smell lunged, given the huge bursts of sound. Strangely enough, here's how to catch a fish?

After boarding, Ali tells us that at noon today as we prepare for a seafood meal.

Ali said that Alexander's most famous seafood, we went to the restaurant, near the lighthouse ruins of seaside, seafood shop front on the Eastern Mediterranean. Pro-Windows sit, you can view the sea view, and can take the coastal Street, feel good. However, the so-called Seafood served but disappointing, each one is just the second like green accounting for small fish, eating fish in his mouth no flavor lightly. We also do not and the most ordinary of seafood dishes.

In the afternoon, we went into the old town, because here the vehicle congestion, road is not good, the car only in the stone streets slowly creeping.

When we go through a full coach of Egypt the children, the children are frequently waved to us, his incessant cries, warm atmosphere, infection with every one of us, everyone was excited.

Pompeii-built in 297 years is more than two thousand years ago the Romans period buildings. According to legend, the dissatisfaction of the Roman Egypt from the harsh exploitation and mortgage revolt, uprising failed, the Roman Emperor did not punish rebels in Egypt, but will Egypt annual food to them, and, thanks to the people of Alexandria, specifically for him in the Temple of God built by the root.

Its texture is superior, high quality, feel also very good. Here you can buy some distinctive cotton as a Memorial.

In Cairo, Ali also brings us to a company that specializes in paper sedge painting shop.

To Egypt for thousands of years the retention of the Papyrus instrument at home I had heard of the ancient Egypt who is using this kind of paper sedge to disseminate their great civilization, the use of the plant's stem can produce available for writing painting paper, its invention era than China's Cai Lun paper for thousands of years. In Egypt Museum everywhere can see those dug up from the underground paper Sedge, content is related to the fairy tale or legend, production stunning Pharaoh. Despite a long ' remains so.

Production of raw materials is a papyrus paper sedge stems. First hard green jackets truncates to the middle of white flakes some cut into thin slices. Cut thin slices to soak in water for at least 6 days in order to get rid of sugar. After these long and emissions into a layer, and then in the above review on another level, two layers of thin slices to knit. Apply these assessments in the two layers of thin linen intermediate while wet n. knocking squeeze dry so that two layers of thin slices into one slice, and then use the machine press reset after a few days to dry Polish can be made into ancient Egypt's most frequently used papyrus.

Shop of the surrounding wall with various Papyrus art, see dazzled, and above all have a price.

As early as the Internet has ass tour Egypt Cairo said paper sedge picture bargaining to 3-4 fold, but we seem unable to get the price, maybe this is the last few days of too many people. My daughter was anxious, not good at owner doesn't allow it, there would be no please go cheap. Of course, buy some in internally simply will not see the arts as a long time after the remembrance is very meaningful.

Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Ali took us to a home-made handicraft workshops.

Here we see how ancient Egypt with the most primitive methods create various exquisite works of art. Due to the geological structure of the Imperial Valley mainly as a stone known as "Snowflake" raw material composition, so the snow carving becomes a local specialty, this stone is produced. Carving out of work after light will render out a hazy sense of beauty, so not only can be used to manufacture vases and containers, also often make shade or table lamp.
