Isn&#39;t it Christmas time again? Today I want to talk about my Christmas trips in the past three years. Let&#39;s not talk about the distant past. Let&#39;s start from Christmas 2017.
In fact, I decided in 2016 that I would no longer go to European and American countries every Christmas, because most European and American countries are Christian countries. Every Christmas to New Year is the most important time of the year. If you want to feel the pure Christmas atmosphere, everyone will first go to European and American countries. I was the same 16 years ago! Maybe everyone will have aesthetic fatigue. I have serious aesthetic fatigue in Europe, whether it is East, West, South, North, or South. In fact, when you have traveled all over and summed up, in addition to some natural scenery in Northern Europe, the cultural landscape and historical origins of East, South, West, Central Europe, including the Balkan countries, are inseparable from two places, one is Italy (the ancient Roman Empire at that time) and the other is Turkey (the Ottoman Empire at that time). You can see that many European countries still retain places called Turkish Old Street (such as Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina)! What should I do if I am aesthetically fatigued? Let&#39;s change places? So I decided to move to the Middle East and Africa in 2016, hahaha!
In fact, many people think that going to the Middle East during Christmas is nonsense. Why do most Islamic countries in the Middle East celebrate Christmas? ! That&#39;s right, but when I really came here, I found that each country has a different attitude towards Christmas! Some are open and some are conservative! 
Let&#39;s talk about Egypt first. This is not my first time to Egypt during Christmas in 2017. Friends who have been here may not be impressed by the pyramids and the Nile River, but the dirty and messy urban environment. In fact, if you come here more often, you will feel that other places except Cairo are okay. For example, my favorite city on the Mediterranean coast, Alexandria, has two of the seven wonders of the world here, the Alexandria Lighthouse and the Library (of course, it has disappeared after thousands of years). Maybe I have a special complex for the Mediterranean. I like Mediterranean cities in any country very much! 
Friends who have been to Alexandria must have been to the Montazah Palace Garden (commonly known as the Summer Palace). Before, I just took pictures in the garden like you, because the palace has been changed to the presidential palace since the Mubarak era! Fortunately, we were authorized by the Alexandria Tourism Bureau to enter (it is still the summer palace of Egypt&#39;s current president Sisi). Unfortunately, we can only look but not take pictures. Here I want to expose my shortcomings, which may be a bad habit of many Chinese people. Even though they didn&#39;t allow us to take pictures, I still took two pictures in the hall just after entering. I apologize here. That impulse was not because of my quality but because of the Christmas atmosphere. After all, I came here on Christmas to keep the appointment. I was sunbathing by the Red Sea in Hurghada a few days ago. Why did I run all the way to such a cold Alexandria, hahaha! Everyone should have the same feeling as I did when they saw the photos. The arrangement is just like my class meeting in elementary school, haha! But I was still very moved. It is great that a backward country and a country where Islam is supreme can do this for us foreigners on Christmas Day. Today I still want to thank them!

Alexandria is indeed different from other Egyptian cities. In addition to the blue sea and sky, and the popular castle, there is also a beautiful garden that is equivalent to the Summer Palace in my country, that is, the Montazah Palace Garden. The garden is the summer palace of Farouk, the last king of Egypt. The main body of the palace combines the Florentine and Turkish styles. The main building is decorated with the letter &quot;F&quot; that Egyptians believe is lucky. The palace is surrounded by date palm trees and gardens, surrounded by green grass, and not far away is the blue Mediterranean Sea. The environment is beautiful, the scenery is excellent, and it has a strong Mediterranean style. Now the Montazah Palace is the Egyptian State Guesthouse and is not open to tourists. However, the beautiful gardens, bays and fresh air have attracted many tourists and local citizens to come here to enjoy the lush green scenery, especially young couples taking pictures here.

The Montazah Palace in Alexandria, Egypt is a colonial palace with a very unique architectural design, like a fusion of Egypt and Europe. There are many very beautiful and exquisite statues in the Montazah Palace, which are vivid and lifelike. In addition, the garden outside the Montazah Palace is lush with trees and the scenery is very charming.
