The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

Tablet666

The Egyptian Museum is the world's most famous treasure trove of ancient Egyptian artifacts. It is located in Cairo's Tahrir Square and was built in 1902. The museum contains more than 120,000 treasures, spanning 5,000 years, including the treasures of the town halls such as Tutankhamun's gold mask, the Royal Mummy Hall, and the statue of Kafra. The building itself is neoclassical style, and the two-story exhibition hall is arranged according to the age and theme. Although it is slightly crowded, it creates an archaeological warehouse-like atmosphere. The heritage labeling system is slightly old, but it does not hinder its status as an academic town for studying ancient Egyptian civilization. After the opening of the new museum (the Great Egyptian Museum), it still attracts historical lovers with irreplaceable collection density

Khan el-Khalili

Tablet666

Khalili Market is the most legendary Arab traditional market in Cairo, and has been an important trading center on the Silk Road since the 14th century. The maze of narrow lanes is lined with gold and silver shops, spice stalls, handicraft workshops, copper lamps, papyrus and other specialty products. The Fisharvi Café in the core area (founded in 1773) still retains the tradition of gathering Arab literary artists, while the stained glass and mosque minarets under the market dome form a unique Islamic picture. Despite the obvious commercialization and the need to be vigilant against high-price traps, the noisy bargaining noise, the air of mint tea and spices still make it a must-visit place to experience Egyptian culture.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

Tablet666

The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and oldest of the Pyramids of Giza. It was built in the 26th century BC and is the tomb of the fourth dynasty Pharaoh Khufu. It is 146 meters high and is made of about 2.3 million boulders, with an average weight of2.5 tons per block. The construction process has been a mystery to date. Its internal structure is complex, including the king's tomb chamber, the queen's tomb chamber and the large corridor and other spaces, precisely aligned the astronomical orientation. As the only surviving of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it shows the peak achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization. Although it has stood still after 4500 years of wind and rain, it is an immortal legend in the history of human architecture.

Cairo Citadel

Tablet666

In the long river of history, Saladin Castle stands quietly there as a witness, its existence is not only the accumulation of buildings, but also the precipitation of history and the continuation of culture. Whether it is the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the last sunset in the evening, it seems to be putting on a mysterious veil for the castle, attracting people to explore the story behind it.

Egypt-Giza Pyramids Pitfall Prevention Tutorial 📍【Egypt Pyramids Practical Guide｜I was scammed three times on the first day😮‍💨】 Before coming to Egypt, I was mentally prepared: I would be scammed, I would be cheated, and I would meet persistent strangers. But I didn’t expect that I would be scammed three times on the first day! --- ❌ Pitfall 1: I paid for the ticket with QR code but didn’t get the ticket I arrived at the South Gate Ticket Office at 7 o’clock in the morning, scanned the QR code and paid successfully, and the card also showed that the money was deducted, but the system did not issue the ticket, so I had to pay cash again to get the ticket. ✅ Suggestion: It is safest to buy tickets with cash, or take a screenshot of the receipt after booking on the official website for future reference. --- ❌ Pitfall 2: Fake tour guide kidnapped with camels as tickets After entering the venue, a tour guide who looked very "professional" approached me and said sincerely: > "You can only take photos outside with this ticket. You have to pay extra to enter, or take my camel to enter." I was skeptical at first, but fortunately, after I insisted on refusing, he left. ✅ Reminder: The tickets for the pyramids are valid for the entire area. There are no such things as "internal tickets" or "camel passes". --- ❌ Step 3: The police asked for tips after inviting you to take photos I walked to the six-tower camera position, and a uniformed policeman took the initiative to show me the way, and said that it was okay to touch his camel and take photos with it: I thought, the police should not lie, right? After taking two photos, he immediately came over and said: "Tip, give me a tip! You are a very good person..." ... I had to bite the bullet and give you $1. ✅ Suggestion: "Free" is the opening line of the trap, don't take photos easily before confirmation. --- 🎒 Suggestion summary (very important) ⏰ It is best to enter at 7 am, the weather is cool, the light is beautiful, and there are few people 💰 Cash is the most stable, electronic payment is prone to problems 🧍‍♂️ Taking the initiative to talk, especially asking "Where are you from?" This kind of opening line basically wants you to spend money. 🗣 Please refuse decisively, don't look, don't buy, and refuse politely. 🐪 Camel experience is about EGP 500/hour, tips are not included (remember to bargain) --- Although many people approach me with a purpose, sometimes I feel extremely annoyed. But when I really stand in front of the pyramids and watch it still stand tall after 4,500 years, I still feel an indescribable shock. > The charm of Egypt lies in - it is still irresistible in chaos. --- If you also plan to come to the Pyramids of Giza, this article will give you the pits you have stepped on and the sweat you have shed. Remember to bring reason, sunscreen, cash, and - a little sense of humor.

Grand Egyptian Museum

紛享樂

🔮When you come to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world's largest archaeological museum, don't rush in, but appreciate the exterior of the building first. The museum was designed by the Irish company Heneghan Peng Architects. It deconstructs the ancient Egyptian architectural language and reinterprets the continuity of civilization with contemporary technology. It is known as the "symphony of stone and light" and is ingeniously crafted everywhere. Entering the atrium of the Grand Egyptian Museum, everyone will be attracted by the giant statue of Ramses II, and will never miss the opportunity to take a photo with this 3,200-year-old ancient Egyptian pharaoh.

Nile

86338633

At that time, on the way from Luxor to Hurghada, I began to miss the Nile River infinitely. Every time I saw the river, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart. It was just a natural scenery, but it had an unreal beauty, flat and vast. I always lived in southern China and always thought that rivers came from valleys, magnificent or winding, with mountains on both sides, but the Nile River was still flat on both sides. I think there would be no Egypt without the Nile River. In such a hot and dry place that is not suitable for living, it should be this river that can pass through thousands of years without changing and keep people. Now, I have been away from Egypt for more than ten days. The most frequent flash in my memory is still the Nile River. Its beauty seems to allow anything to happen. I suddenly understand Agatha very much. If you face such a miracle every day, it is not surprising that you can write any story. Finally, I actually want to say that the Old Falls Hotel is worth staying (if the budget allows, but the afternoon tea is very bad, so be careful.

Great Sphinx of Giza

Aima3125

The Sphinx is an Egyptian cultural heritage, located in the pyramidal tomb area of Giza, Egypt, and the avatar is said to be shaped by the portrait of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Havra, and there is also the view that Regidev was built according to the portrait of his father Khufu.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

紛享樂

Here, according to the complete historical timeline layout, focus on the entire civilization process of Egypt, covering prehistoric, Pharaoh, Greek and Roman, Coptic, Islamic and modern Egyptian culture, showing the characteristics of the integration of Egyptian multiculturalism. The museum square is large and empty, and the architectural design cleverly combines the symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization with the language of modern architecture, respecting tradition and full of the future. For specific understanding, you can see my travels on the homepage.

The Hanging Church

Tablet666

The hanging church building itself is like a work of art, standing on a cliff, giving a mysterious sense of solemnity. The exquisite interior decoration complements the magnificent scenery outside, making people feel like they are in a quiet and sacred space. In addition, the natural scenery around the church is beautiful and a very memorable experience. Highly recommended for friends who like to explore beautiful buildings and seek peace.
